Thanks to you...

^ A couple friends and me in the sulphur clouds of the Uyuni desert! ^

Angels are everywhere, ya know? They often come along just when you need them. This struck me the other day, as I was by an ATM, trying to figure out how to get my VISA card back after the ATM decided to eat it. A random lady just angelically appeared out of “nowhere” and asked if she could help me.

But she was just one of the many angels I know… namely all of YOU. This is a tribute to those who have continued to absolutely bless my socks off, even being 4000 km away for 5 months.

There are my parents who I’ve talked with almost every single day (and my mom sends me loving “prayer of the day” emails)… my brother who at least USED to talk with me, before he found lovelier company... :) My grandparents who got a Facebook account just to see my pictures… Those who send me messages of all sorts… those who have spent hours Skyping/IMing me, including “staying by my side” as I proceeded to lose my cookies on the floor, haha… Those who drop random notes to say they’re thinking of me or are counting down till I get home… and last but not least – anyone who has commented on my blog or pictures, for great is your reward in heaven =)

I don’t pretend that this was exactly a mission trip, and I have certainly learned way more than I have accomplished. Nevertheless, whatever I have done in the past 5 months – or my whole life, actually – I largely credit to my amazing peeps! Behind every person who goes are many more, just as important, supporting them and cheering them on. Ya’ll are the best. Thanks for being the most awesome friends I could imagine.

I'm coming home March 23!

Over and out.
