Build Your Kingdom Here

Wow, it's my last day in the US and a lot of 'This is my last time doing ...' are popping up in my head!

I got to do a lot of fun things, got to meet old friends and also some new ones - for that I am so incredibly thankful!

Here are some things that I did this summer:

  • enjoy the Minnesotan weather
  • be thankful for AC
  • meet my baby sister
  • meet YFU friends - George, Karla, Rebecca, Pippu, Eva, Hung and Micah
  • go to the MOA three times
  • go to Chicago
  • rejoin Junction 180 (youth group)
  • visit Calvary
  • get the best quilt/blanket anyone has ever seen - thank you Bonnie!
  • go camping two times
  • see God's beautiful creation
  • drive 156 miles straight (with an AUTOMATIC car - one thing I've missed pretty much all the time was my precious clutch)
  • go up to Moorhead to visit Laura
  • learn again how to listen to eight conversations at once
  • meet Jess (twice!)
  • enjoy people's faces when they eat German chocolate :)
There was probably a lot more fun stuff, but it's so hard to put everything in words!

I am so glad that I was able to come stay with my family again, meet old friends and make new ones :)
This was an awesome summer that is over way too soon! I learned a lot and feel so blessed with all the ideas and memories I get to take home!

We sang this song in church at the beginning of my stay here and ever since it is one of those songs that I can just always listen to without getting tired of it :) It just always fills me with joy!
