Mimi Rutler comes by her deep-seated love for Ethiopia naturally, because she was born there (to missionary parents) and spent her whole childhood there. After returning to the States, going to college and getting married, Mimi enjoyed her role as a homemaker, homeschooling the children and getting involved in the local church. Today Mimi and her husband Rob live in Idaho. Together, they have 7 married children, 20 grandchildren and 1 on the way. Hanna impressed Mimi when they met in 2008, by her love for her girls and her desire to help them become the women God created them to be.
