after sending me a package last week (with two kinds of crane&co stationary, earrings, a bookmarker, and candy), tom then sent a one pound box of truffles from a candy company in savannah (which i did not share and ate in three days) and as if THAT wasn't enough...today, after mailing some stuff to my sisters (yay...you're getting mail!), i checked ( Read more... )

last week is over. rocked on paper about victorian england. rocked on doctrine test and did okay on economics quiz. totally bombed spanish presentation. next week includes: macroeconomics EXAM (aaah!) and spanish exam-chapters 8-10. so the scary academic stuff is far from over ( Read more... )

tonight was a good night. i got to eat extraordinarily yummy stuffed shells and mini chocolate lava cakes at corrie's sister's house. i got to take a nice long nap this afternoon. and i got to talk to chris, rachel and tom. now i just need to motivate myself to do my spanish homework and i'll be even better. i hope everyone had a good weekend.

right now tom is talking to me on the phone about how is interested in doing mission work, long-term in a foreign country. i'm am completely blown away. every single thing that I have ever prayed that would change about him is changing. and i know that people say that you can never change anyone but God can and he is. i cannot believe this. i ( Read more... )

sitting on my bed we listened to #41 by dave matthews band and he started to cry. i held his head in my hands and kissed his eyelids and hoped that it would be me who got to do that for him every time he cries for the rest of his life. it was solemn and beautiful. it was the night before i left. the week before i had prayed for three hours that ( Read more... )
