thanks for the kind words / Aug 17, 02:21 PM
I don’t just write blogs here. I read all the other MY-ers blogs too. I keep looking for someone to say they are in CAMDEN but it hasn’t happened yet. Anyway, I’m quite fond of Heather Bouley’s blogs. She makes me smile. She’s got this one “things that get me pumped”...it’s a list of the encouraging things people have said to her. I thought that was nice. A good idea. I want people to know how much their kind words mean to me. So here goes:
So I read about what you are doing in the next year…that is fantastic. I would love to hear more about what you are doing! Keep in touch! – Lindsay Hacker
So Ive been sitting here bored for a while in my room and I started thinking about your mission year. Just wanted to tell you I’m gonna miss you soooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!! But on the other hand I’m also really excited for & proud of you for doing this. – Erin Ross
wow. i am…in shock over here. you definitely should call me when you’re there…i’m very interested. my visual response is lame, but trust me…the reaction over here? fabulous. I LOVE YOU!!! – Liz Stafford
This is awesome Haley. I’m excited for you. You’re going to have to put some of that $70 back for stamps though! Because I’ll expect AT LEAST a letter a week :-D Those are the rules! – Whitney Robins
haley this is amazing!!! AHHH i can’t wait for you to go! – Jessi Struckhoff
I’m so excited for you! if i’ve learned anything from 4-H it’s that new experiences are life lessons..you know stepping outside of that comfort zone and having fun. I’ll miss you at ECC but I know you will be home soon. Just keep me posted on the situation. I’d love to write you because getting mail is just about the best thing ever! love you! – Jen Beste
Haley, this is the most awesome thing ever. And I was feeling pretty excited about SLU... this is so much cooler than college!!! I’ll pray for you when you’re off serving God and living on seventy bucks a month. I know this will just be a great opportunity for you, and keep us posted on where you end up. – Sarah Payne
I’m excited for you… a little jealous that you will be away from this place for so long but anyway… I just wanted to say… I’m going to miss you soooo much!!! – Megan Soetebier
wow im so excited for you!! actually my excitement out ways my sadness of losing you! Gods really going to use you over there Haley!! – Josiah Shickler
Haley, I love you SO much!! I will make sure I send you lots of pictures of Baby Kate. She’ll know who you are :). I am so excited that you got placed in Camden. God has opened door after door for this opportunity and you have to believe that.You have an amazing gift of relating to other people and meeting them right where they are. Everyone there is going to love you. I admire you so much for what you are doing. I have always had this fear that if I truly give everything over to God, what is he going to ask me to do or what/ where is he going to call me to? And even though you have or had that fear, you did it anyway and look what happened. That’s what makes you so amazing. I want to be updated all year long!! We will miss you so much when you leave, but we know what an awesome thing you are doing and that makes us feel better. Mark and I love you SO much!! – Jen Roskowske
Oh, Beautiful, Love. Well, I hate this. I don’t like you leaving me. Ah..this makes me crazy thinking about everything. I just love you. Love you more than you even know, Love. Mission year here you come….so look out. God needs you there. And as much as I wish he needed you in Union to be with me, I can deal with it…I just don’t like dealing with it. Boo. I miss you. – Carli Matthews
If you go to camden you will be my hero. – Mark Roskowske
Ahh! Those are just the written words! So many people have vocalized their kind words. And trust me, I appreciate those words so much too. I love you all so, so, so, so, so much! Thanks times 12,000.
