I could never post just one picture of my
friends, because there has never been a time when I’ve had all of my friends
together in one place. I don’t believe that will happen until we’re joined
together in heaven one day, as my friends are all over the world!

Some of my very best
friends were the ones I went to Haiti with this summer. We started off as mere
acquaintances at the beginning of the trip, and came back best friends and
feeling like family to each other.
|
 |
|
These dear friends
are like cousins to me! But we’re scattered from Japan, to Michigan, and to
Texas. We’re hoping to reunite this summer.
|

|
I so miss my fellow
worship dancers!
|
 |
|
We also miss Pastor S
very much.

R (far left) and Mr.
Chris (in between me and Ben) went with us to Haiti this summer and became dear
friends to us. Ben and I look forward to seeing Mr. Chris in Haiti this summer!

| I miss C often, especially the way she could make me laugh until my sides ached. J |
 |
|
The R family was such
a huge encouragement and blessing to our family. We’re hoping they’ll come and
visit us sometime soon (hint, hint! J)
|

Ben and I both miss
our Sunday school teacher, Mr. M. We enjoyed skyping with him and the rest of
the class last week though.

Hardly a day has gone
by since we moved that we haven’t talked to, emailed, or texted my dear Uncle
Paul and his family. They rank right up there with our flesh-and-blood family;
Mom even calls Aunt Noelle her sister. J We are so blessed by
their friendship!
|
 |
|
And
of course, we are slowly making new friends down here in Texas.
|
 |
|
Our
youth group is a fun-loving bunch and we are getting to know people better.
|
And this is only a small portion of the many
friends I have been blessed with! I wish I had room and time to post about all
of them. I am so blessed!
Aweeeeee, You know how to make someone feel special :) Thank you for the sweet comments.
ReplyDeleteSure wish we lived closer, maybe someday I will stop saying that and realize we do not!
I love these pics!! Such great memories. I cannot wait till we see each other again to make more great memories together with our adopted family. We definitely miss you guys and pray for you daily. I just love being able to keep up with you guys via email and this blog. Maybe someday we will start a blog of our own.
ReplyDeleteMiss you bunches,
Your delayed emailer but always thinking of you uncle Paul
So glad I made you feel special, Aunt Noelle. :-) You make me feel special with your comments! Maybe one day we will live close together again. I'm grateful that we have grown even closer despite the distance between us!

There are a lot of great memories in these pictures, Uncle Paul! I too look forward to making more memories together this summer! I'd LOVE it if your family started a blog! You know I'd be your first follower. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe do joke a bit about your delayed reactions. :-) But we know you think of us, as we think of you.

I dreamed a few nights ago that we were taking a road trip, and happened to run into your family at a hotel somewhere.
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting dream, Lydia! I guess it is possible! We have actually met friends at rest stops while we were traveling.
