as we have been travelling for seven months now, i just wanted to post a few pictures of some of the most important people to me.   my family and friends back home have supported me in more ways than i can count, and i am SO grateful for their unconditional love.  my roommate recently sent me a few pictures, but there are still many people who i do not have pictures for (i’m so sorry!)…but i want you to know how much i truly appreciate you.  this year wouldn’t have been the same without your prayers and encouraging words to keep us going.  i wish you knew the affect they have on us each day, because we really feel loved by you all.  you inspire me to reflect the same love of Christ with those around us.  i will continue to keep you in my prayers.  you guys’ are a gift from the best friend of all.  i love you!!
