I wish that tomorrow instead of going to school, I could spend all day with you on the beach, at an amusement park, in the church lobby ANYWHERE I don't even care,just to be with you. I also wish that my back didn't hurt either. I'm sorry, I am intentionally going to make this short becasue I'm only going to get 5 hour of sleep for a full day tomorrow and maybe not even that the rest of the weekend because we have so much planned for out retreat. I have some really good stories for you though, when I have time which will hopefull be tomorrow right before I leave if I can get packed and everything. I cannot even tell you how much I like and how incredible happy I am when I read emails like that. Thank you so much. On top of that it stormed really hard all day long and I loved it all. It was so nice. I just like you alot. Please pray for the retreat to go well. G'night
Your incredibly tired girl that feels like such a bad girlfriend when she makes an email this short but who thanks you in advance for understanding,
Bethany

Pleeeeze, I would much much much rather be on the beach there than anywhere here, especially in Ohio. The beach that we were at there was more or less a box of little stones with a puddle than a beach. Don't worry about the email. I understand that you are busy. We had our first class meeting this evening and it was a diaster. The best word to describe it is "insane." So I came home totally stressed and then I had to call my boss about getting off work. I was really nervous because I thought that I might have to tell her that I was going to quit my job if she didn't let me have the days off that I need in order to try out for the play. I'm really excited about it. I think that it will be tons of fun if I make it, which I shouldn't get my hopes up because there are 600 kids in my class and I'm sure that many of them are better actors than I. We'll have to just wait and see. But my boss made me really happy because she said that she totally understood and she thoght that it was important to be in things like that. I was excited that I could keep my job. I was going to send you some pictures just right after I got your last letter actually but I thought that I would just wait a few day until I finished my guitar and I would send you some pictures of it too. Well, those couple of days turned into a nightmare of ruckus concerning my guitar and I have almost given up all hope altogether. It's not really a big deal to me anymore, I suppose, but I just can't figure out what God was trying to teach me through that. I will send you some this week, or really close to this week because me and my girls are going on a leadership retreat over the weekend and we will not be home until right before church on Sun morning. I'm excited about that too. As much as I tried not to yawn, thinking that I was stronger than that, I actually did and couldn't believe how well that worked.
Oh, Gids, I miss you so much and am SO ready for another dream about you. I miss you.
Star light, star bright
First star I see tonight
I wish I may
I wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight.

You know what happened yesterday?I had a little chance to check the blog and I get into this cyber cafe with lousy computers.So I wait and wait before I got to see your mails.As I begin to type O'neal comes to get me and he's like'Hey we gotta go man'And so I finish the really short mail which doesn't make much sense and click on post then the computer starts conteplating on whether or not to send the mail.So I'm caught up in the dillema I want to see the mail go and at the same time I need to go so I tell the cafe atendant to make sure that the mail goes then sign out for me,which now I find out he did, but believe me I was really unsettled I didn't know whether you had gotten the mail or not believe me it hurts me when I fail to write something to you but I'm glad you did.It makes sense to have practice for your own benefit like what happened to you yesterday.Surprisingly I haven't dug up enough information about heaven but I know that it is beyond human capibility to comprehend, because man is limited by time and heaven is not man is surrounded by beuty even nature that is corrupted by sin and heaven is not. So when we say that for example there'll be singing in heaven , we're basicaly trying to denote eternity coz music is eternal or there'll be a streete of gold to potray beauty and treasure but definately heaven is much much more than that things like gold and singing are familiar to man and are used to make man have an idea fo of heaven's like.Whether there'll be nature or not that I don't know some say there'll be swimming pools and football! I really don't know about that.There is no Amarican football here in Kenya but there's rugby and soccer.The las time I saw Danson he was okay but the doctors have prohibited any one from seeing him coz he needs rest but thanks on his behalf for praying for him. About TZ we only hope Danson heals fast so we can organize on that I'm dying to get there not only for vast ministry opportunities, but also to see the places we saw together and go the places we went together with you it will bring back pleasant memories of you.Hey maybe I need more snaps of you I really miss you.Indeed school ministriea are productive. I learn a lot everyday as I prepare to teach something to the teenagers like today I led a group discussion and we were discussing the fruit of the HolySpirit and it was really challenging to me.I asked them a question'What areas in your life do you some of these qualities like self control?' And I've been thinking about that myself.There are enough ares I need self control and I pray that the lord will help me.Well Bethany you need some sleep now......... I can see you just yawned! shame on you how can you yawn when reading my mail?Goodnight and sweeet dreams as usuall but I hope we don't get stuck in the mud today I hope we look at the stars at the OHIO BEACH peacefully and romantically.God bless.

Hey, it's not quantity but quality, right? I didn't recongnize your voice either, actually. I just got back form practicing piano and I had such a good practice, It put me in such a good mood. Not necesarily a good practice concerning my lesson tomorrow, but good for personal benefit, does that make sense? Is there a lot of football in Africa? American football? Anyway today I decided that I wish that sometimes I could be a boy so that I could be big and strong and tough and play football. It's so much fun but guys always go easy on me...well, on all the girls actually, which there is reason for, I suppose. I was thinking about heaven today as I looked at the cloud. They were really cool today. I guess that I was thinking about heaven because of how heaven is associated with the clouds. Sometimes I think that it would be really nice to get a glimpse of it because I can't imagine anything more beautiful than some of the things I have seen here on earth and most of them are nature. Will there be nature in heaven? How is Danson doing? I hope he is doin well. Tell him my youth group and I are praying for him. What ever happen with TZ? Are you guys planning on going back? I hope that school ministries and such is productive. I miss you.
Yours
Bethany

I am so glad that we got to talk last night on the phone. I wish I could tell you how happy that made me. I didn't expect to be able to get through. I couldn't even get to sleep, I was seriously trembling with excitment. It made me want to call you again and tlak to you for hours and hours. But I suppose that I should be a good steward of my money, huh? Did I ever explain to you why I couldn't call you before you went to bed? Well, I tried. I tried for twenty minutes but I didn't know how to call out of the country and I was late calling anyway because I had to leave my youth group. We were having lunch together and I woud have kept trying ( the line was busy or something) but I didn't want to keep my friends waiting for too long. Nathaniel's friend Austin came over last night and Nathaniel asked me to play the piano for them as they jammed out on thier guitars. I was surprised that he asked me to hang out with him and his friend but I think that it made him feel like he was in a gargage band. It was cool. Come to find out, this guy Austin told me that he had tuning knobs that were like my old broken ones and he woud give them to me. I was really excited because my guitar hasn't progressed at all since I heard the terrible news about how old it was and how impossible it would be to find ones that would work. Oh well. Hey there is this website that has all kinds of Christian music on it and I'm learning to play some songs on the guitar from it. It's really cool. This morning my sinuses were hurting so I took some medicine right before I left for school. To bad it was night-time formula. I was walking around in a daze all day long and slept through most of my classes which was not very good. Henceforth, I am going to go to bed early tonight. OH, please pray for my friend Nettie (do you remember her- my dancing friend?) she is having a really haard time in her life right now in dealing with her parents. They are both really really sick. He dad is dying and her mom night have cancer. She means so much to me and it kills me to see her mushing herself to be happy and normal while she is hurting so badly inside. I'm sorry all of these are always so random. I'm not a very organized girl, I suppose. I miss you and Kenya and ... that whole life.
