Can you believe it a dog in our bed!!! Today we leave for Salisbury to get Boomer sized for his new pads and pick his classes. The coach at St. Joe's emailed and offered him starting goalie--a little late huh!!! Everyone is well and cannot wait until you are home safe. We love you and miss you. God's Blessings

Hi Mama and Christian. Dad made me sound like such a loser when he said I was thrilled about my pay check, haha. I worked tonight and met some more of my coworkers. Christian warned me not to make any mistakes on the cash register- well I accidentally put $107 instead of $10.70, whoops. The beach is good, kinda gloomy out, but good. Mom, I can't believe you brought the wrong charger, all that careful planning and you took the wrong charger. Silly. Praying for you both. LOVE YOU!

Hi Jackie! It was so good to be able to see you and pray over you before you left on Friday. Thank you for making the time to see us... the boys really enjoyed it too. You have been in my thoughts and prayers quite often since Friday, and we are so excited to hear about the trip when you get home. Blessings! -Josh

Jason: Would just like to underline, italicize, and bold Alida's comment re wedding rings. Four would be too much. I would stick with the third one.

Hi Ally and everyone! I hope all is well and you are spreading your positive energy! I am proud of you and I love you (same from Amelia and Riely) Amelia and I rescued a "feeder" fish from Petsmart. He cost 26 cents and now lives in Pop Pop's pond. His name is John Travolta. You should see how big your goldfish is now! Planning a couple of days at KiKi's house the week you return--hope you can come.

Hi Ben Yesterday I got to my part of the sermon on prayer at exacty noon and we stopped and prayed for you all. I heard you ate birthday cake with soup spoons; I guess for your 18th birthday that is a memorable way to spend the day. The people of Bridge of Peace want you and the team to know we are praying for you at noon each day. Everyone wants you to come and show pictures and tell of your experience. We send you our love and want you to know we are really proud of you and all the team are doing as you

My prayers and best wishes are with you all! I, too, am glad you made the journey safely - and that you'll soon be re-connected with each other in Sarajevo! I wish I could be there with you - I'll be checking the website every day. Have fun with the children - say hi to Bobby and Azra and Vjeko - as well as your drivers! Still Salco(sp ?) and Vildan? Eat lots of ice cream for me! Peace, Donna

Congrats on making it with ALL OF YOUR LUGGAGE!!! :) you're already a step ahead of the game! NORTH TEAM - enjoy Gradacac, it's great! go swimming in the lake but watch out for fuzzy rocks (and make sure someone *cough Jason* doesn't do something like accidentally lose his wedding ring in the lake) South Team - as you travel to Srebrenica, may you help bring healing to the place that needs it most thinking of you all! ~ Alida

Hey Lauren, Good morning! Hope all is well with you and your traveling companions. It is cloudy and humid here in NJ. I went to the gym thinking, "wish Lauren was here". I have to work later today. (2-7pm) I'm very proud of you, keep up the good work. Stay safe and healthy. God bless you all. Love Mom (Jean)

Dear Emily, Good morning to you from cloudy NJ.Sabina is here today cleaning, but we spent about 30 minutes talking about Bosnia. the IST team, and her family. She wants to meet you, so she will come on July 7 to clean again. We have a dinner date with the Froelkhe's on July 6. Pastor Dale was so sorry she wasn't able to see you before you left, so she wanted to be sure to see you when you got home before you left for Salem again. Be well, and give all the children a big hug from me. Hi and hugs to ever
