happy birthday Diana!

Today is Di's birthday... Diana, a dietician, was one of the missionaries (along with Tito) that I worked with at the Community Health and Nutrition site (aka CHAN) in Santa Maria de Jesus (aka SMDJ) in Guate. I learned much from her about nutrition, both specifically in the village where we worked as well as globally, and how many factors affect one's nutrition or lack thereof. Go here to read a great article that Diana wrote about nutrition issues in SMDJ!

Di taught me so much about cooking and eating well, and my time with her really inspired me to start cooking more often and eating better (something I don't always do but continue to strive for)... Just this summer I found one of her recipes, for "bran muffins con banano" and have been enjoying it ever since!

And Diana taught me more than just nutrition. She also modeled for me a life of great joy, as well as honesty. I am so thankful for her life and the chance that I had to get to know her and work alongside her!



¡Feliz cumple Di!
