You remind me of...

...a ukelele!!!  Just heard a song on Pandora with a ukelele and it immediately reminded me of you.  I miss you, best friend! 

We should learn this song when you get back - "Grace That is Greater" by Bart Millard.  I love this hymn and his arrangement with the ukelele is so wonderful.  We could play/sing for CSF with harmony! 

Can't wait to Skype with you soon!!!  Praying you get through the rest of the day with peace and harmony and joy.  :)

Day 1532987592837592873....(or so it seems)

Dear Anna,

Just hanging out in the wilderness of ND this week!!!  It's totally in the middle of nowhere.  Kara, Chrissy and I are staying at our uncle's house and I've dubbed it "Area 51 of Cellular Coverage" - there is NOTHING within the clump of trees.  It's crazy.

I've gotten a lot of opportunities to tell family about the trip and about you being over there now...hoping for more opportunities to use it as a gospel tool.

We had such a fun time in Minot too with our church family.  I miss the transparency, the community and the closeness that Trinity Church has - it is so far from Clifton or Graceland or Sojourn or really any other church I've been to.  (Though I haven't been to Journey or your old church, maybe those are like Trinity)  I also saw my old boyfriend (who is now dating Kara's best friend) which was really fun, just to catch up and be friends.  We were really good friends back in the day and I'm glad we got to hang out in a group a little.

I MISS JEREMY!!!!  Okay, I put that in here because I just KNOW you will roll your eyes and laugh at me.  But it's true!!

Don't you dare get engaged.  We need to talk about this, missy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love you. :)

Day 7th - June 4th, 2012

ANNA!!!!  I watched a video Jeremy took of Josh opening his gift from us - and I heard your voice!  Awww, I miss you!  Hoping I get to talk to you soon!!!  I've really realized the past week how much I rely on you.  God has given you the gift of being completely open and accepting with people and it is so easy to be with you, to tell you things and to be real.  You are a dear, dear friend and I thank God for you.  Really looking forward to hearing what He is teaching you in Haiti.
