10 weeks ago, I came on an adventure to live and to follow God into the unknown! To a place, where it had everything I didn't want to be around. It consisted of oging to live in a house where I didn't know the majority of people or even want to be around them all that much! I was put into a position to get a job where I didn't know anyone or let alone understand their languages. Because of this, I have a new understanding and love for internationals! I knew coming here I would be pushed and be more tired than I've ever been before. No matter what I have been through I have had each one of these people, that I didn't want to be around, help lift me up and support me! I'm going to miss the random bursts of laughter that echo throughout the house! I'll miss the Duttonisms of course and I'll miss sitting in the lobby of the White Gull and watching every worker just go out and start their day and I pray for them to have a day to glorify the Lord and to show God's love. I'll miss seeing every person come in from work and asking how their day was and just welcoming them home. I'll miss all the events from the Weekly Meeting on Monday to the Community Events on Saturday nights. But what I'll miss the most is YOU! Yes, that's right, YOU! Each one of you have done something to just brighten up my life! I am so inspired and encouraged by you all! I kow how things in life come and go, with saying that, every person will be in my heart forever! Every moment has been the time of my life and I've done or seen things I could ONLY dream about. How will life ever be the same? It won't be! The front door of the White Gull will never swing open quite the same as it did the summer of 2008! No matter what happens to us, whether good or bad, no one can take our memories of this summer! I just want to say Thank you, because all of you guys have helped(along with God), save my life from death and darkness!!
I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
***Guys, this summer was the most amazing time of my life! Being from the area I'm from, this doesn't happen to the strongest Christians(and they are few and far between!), and just getting to go places for anyone doesn't happen! God really did so much for me this summer, and I miss you all so much, more than words could ever describe! As we are about to start the fall semester, my prayer is that you guys keep the fire from project and take it and spread it on your campus! Look at all that God did in you, through you, and around you this past summer! My biggest prayer, is that ALL of you continue to follow God with all your heart, mind, and soul! I've been to the darkest corners and there is nothing there that is better than God. I love you guys, miss you all, and Bless Your Hearts!!
