David the linguist will understand and appreciate this exercise in language quirks.

Cute. We do, indeed, have a most interesting language.

Love this!

2011-12-22T11:13:47.024-08:00

Love this!

Perhaps so.

2011-12-03T13:18:26.989-08:00

Perhaps so.

Welcome back -- even if only briefly.

It would have been nice if the wicked could have turned away from evil in this case, but that wasn't going to happen. Still it's hard to celebrate a death.

Timely.

Very worthy concept, even if walking barefoot around Seattle is probably not very safe. "Tom's" sounds like a very culturally aware company (or maybe they have a good PR dept :)

I'm sure this program will be just what Natalie needs to by the Tom's Zebra shoes that she's been coveting.

I enjoyed the Shoe Shot from Russia.

Does going to Grants Pass count?

Beautiful. Just beautiful.

Beautiful. Just beautiful.

So true indeed.

Yes! Travel broadens and matures you. Look at what it's done for you and also Amanda when she went to Romania, then England and Japan, and then all over the world.

DAD

Em, you have a standing invitation to visit. If it's overnight, for a weekend or just for dinner you are invited!

Ah I just noticed this post! So many exciting things! The dance makes me laugh - Q and I listened to that song OVER AND OVER again during the World Cup. :) How was the retreat? I couldn't be prouder of you if I tried...

Congrat's on getting camp job. You'll be great. How exciting!

Hugs to you cousin - and virtual hugs from Seattle all the way to Russia to those sweet little kids who left their fingerprints on your heart.

2011-01-21T08:02:42.602-08:00

Amen, sweet sister.

I am so proud of you. I am so, so, so proud of you. I am proud to know you, proud to call you my sister, proud to call you my children's aunt.

I feel so privileged to hear about your trip, and the amazing things God has done in you and through you, and in the lives of so many others.

Emily. I am so proud of you for not only making t...

2011-01-20T11:20:20.930-08:00

Emily. I am so proud of you for not only making the journey, but also for being willing to share your great reflections with other prospective travelers. You have amazing "voice" in your writing. It will be a source of comfort to both them and their nervous parents. It's tough to have your child travel so far away, but we trust God. I love you, mom

2011-01-17T18:25:32.940-08:00

I love that you are still processing how Russia impacted you - how GOD impacted you through Russia - and what that means for your life now. If it were easy to figure out, it might not have been worth much, right?

I'm so proud of you. Let's be missionaries together, mmk? Once we graduate, let's go. I'm serious. Only I want to speak Spanish and you probably want to speak Russian... so we may have to "go" separately. Details details.

2011-01-17T07:09:00.274-08:00

This is a powerful post, Emily. Hopefully, it will help future SPRINT team members be just a bit more prepared for what's going to happen to them on their missions and the difficult-but-worth-it process of "re-entry".

Love you,
Aunt Carol

A photo is worth a thousand words, and ya'll had lot's of photo's and words. I loved confirming that SPU is the place for you now.

You are making wonderful friends and memories. Both are precious.

You have much to celebrate this Christmas Season.

It was definitely worth waiting for. Thanks! Hope to see you during the break.
