Dear Gideon,
How are you? I apologize that it has taken me so long to get back to you. It seems like a lot of my relationships have been put on hold during finals and the week before it. You know how that goes I'm sure. But, I am finally home now and SO ready to reconnect with a lot of the people that I love. I had an incredible first sememster and I thank God for it, but also realize that some things should probably change concerning the way I go about different tasks that I have each semester. It was a good time of learning and growing.
It is so good to hear that you got to lead to men to Christ. I rejoice with you! That is an awesome and privileged oppurtunity.
I have to admit that the more I hear and the more that see other, the more my passion for Africa is stirred. Maybe we will see eachother again one day. It has so long seemed like that dream is a far away unreality, but, after all, "To Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine..."
My heart is sad as I realize that we are growing apart. I realize, however, that it is really inevitable. I just want you to know that your words to me changed my life and I appreciate everything that you have been to me.
Please let me know what else is going on in your life, what is going on in your head and please let me know how Joy and you are doing. Andrew and I are good. He has decided that he is going to pursue full time ministry, which thrills me more than I can tell. I love to see God working in his life.
I hope that God is blessing you and that you are loving Him more every day.
You will always have a special place in my heart and I am so glad that after all this time we are still friends.
Bethany
