For those of you who don't know, I am back home in the States. Sonya and I spent a great 10 days in Europe with her mom, traveling to Spain, France, & Switzerland. Everything was so green and beautiful!
Now I am getting used to civilized living again and finding out what has happened in all my friends and family's lives while I've been gone. This summer I'll be working at Big Lake Youth Camp again as a counselor for the RAD camps. Then I'll be headed right away out to Nebraska to Union College. Life sure picks up quick when you live in the States!
"To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children, to earn the approbation of honest critics; to appreciate beauty; to give of one's self, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived--that is to have succeeded." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

We're all so happy to have you back in the states! It was so nice to visit with you this past weekend.
ReplyDeleteYAY RAD camps! That's so cool that you're going to be a RAD counselor. We're going to have tons of fun. Look at the irony, you leave Africa and now I'm over here. Nowhere near Chad cause I'm down in Mozambique visiting my family for a month but still... well I hope you are having a great month before camp starts:)
ReplyDeleteWelcome home, Sarah.
ReplyDeleteI'm a retired New Yorker who stumbled across your site shortly after you arrived in Africa...I've enjoyed reading about your successes and harrowing experiences. Your work and God's hand have touched many; they'll not likely have the chance to say "thank you" so may I, on their behalf, express appreciation for your work. --TGP
