in 30 days i get to step my feet upon a flying piece of metal and fly across the atlantic to switzerland and then off to kenya. can i just tell you how i can't wait? not one little bit...i cannot wait! the fact that in 30 days, my 2 research papers will be done, i will have hopefully passed chemistry and never have to take another science class again, no more meetings, no more drama (at least for a little bit). just me and my favorite place in the world. with might i say some of the coolest.
i just can't wait. so if you think about it family. pray for kenya. that is the most amazing country to me. i love it. i love the smells. i love the food. i love the people. i love the love there. i wish i could take you all with me but i know i can't but i am kinda of taking you all with me since i know you are praying for me so much.
besides craving to go back to africa. i am just hanging here in sterling. laughing a lot and trying to say sane with all the homework and workouts. laughing helps. just in case you haven't laughed really hard in a long time. you should. it helps. promise. here are some random pictures of me with some of my favorite people in the world. i hope you enjoy them, i wish you could meet all of them too. the Lord has blessed me with so many great friends...
i love you all so much. hopefully i will see you soon! i really hope so... remember to smile and laugh. be joyful in the Lord, i promise there is always something to be thankful for. always.

Wow....30 day is all? Can't believe it. Love the pics, they are great!
Something I read in "Ruthless Trust" last night....."The foremost quality of a trusting disciple is gratefulness." I thought; wow! what a good measure of trusting God in my life....am I really a grateful person? Do i know that God is to be trusted? Anyways, thought of that in reading your blog. Love you lots!
Surprise!
Can you believe it? I finally got your blog and enjoyed it very much. Rest assured I will be praying for you and do each day....maybe several times a day.
I know you enjoy Africa, but you are so very far from me and Grandpa. But the Lord will use you and protect you.
Love you very much,
Grandma Butch
