ReplyDeleteBest of luck my dear! My prayers will be with you until you get back and head off to the burbs to attend Midwestern! You'll have to come into the city before you start school to visit and tell me of all your stories in Klemtu!
ReplyDeleteOh, and watch out for the bears there! Yikes!! No/limited jogging, my friend! Seriously!!! Ask Steve about his adventures to Alaska! They will attack and looks like you are going to the heart of the grizzlies ("Bear Forest")! We will miss you and will be anxious to hear how it goes.
Love ya, Bets
It's beautiful to see the little girl I babysat and took out for ice cream and had in my wedding become such an amazing woman. I admire your strong faith, your huge heart, and your determination to make a difference. I will keep you in prayer and thought all summer and hope that maybe we can hit Dairy Queen (just you and I) when you return so I can hear all about it. Best wishes and stay safe! Love, Kenya
ReplyDeleteYou leave today and I am sad, but know this is an experience of a lifetime. Can't wait to see your first blog and talk to you and see you on skype! Love you, Mom
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud of you, Ali!!! I should have given you Karen's bear bell ... she had a run in with one in the Smokies and she bought a bell to keep them away! Love, Rach
ReplyDeleteI hope at this point you are safely in Vancouver or all the way to Klemtu. You are well prepared and have every quality it takes to make a difference in a new community. We are so very proud of our little Al...and also very sad we can't have wine and movie night for 10 weeks. Love ya, MB
ReplyDeleteThinking of you today - nearly all day, Ali! Can't wait to see your first posting after you arrive! Hello to Tim (and the rest of the family) for me! :) Lisa M
ReplyDeleteAli, You're the best; so brave and SO my hero on this adventure with God and for His people. He is with you always, my dear. Je t'aime,Jennifer Ayers
ReplyDeleteIt is day 2 and am so glad you arrived safely in Vancouver and that our dear friends picked you up the airport and are showing you their beautiful city. Gpd speed on the next part of your trip - the ferry to Klemtu. Stay safe, Love you, Mama
ReplyDeleteAli Brown!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear about the ferry ride, Tom Terriffic and I have been praying for your safety, and strength in your travels. Sure do love you girl!

Hi Ali. Greetings from Carmel and from your running buddies. I had a great run & did 1:54, which is not so great on the surface but I wasn't sure I was up for the race at all. So maybe I won't retire after all :-)
ReplyDeleteI bumped into several runners who asked me "Hey, isn't Ali Brown in your running group?" I did my best to explain your mission to everyone who asked.
Looking forward to following your journey.
Much love and success from me & all your running buddies at Grace CC!
Ali, I am so glad we can talk on the phone. Can't believe you have cell service there. I hope you get your computer set up today. Thanking God you arrived safely in Klemtu yesterday and your house is nice with your address "the Brown house". Missing you, Mama
ReplyDeleteAli, What a relief your internet is working! I have read every word of your blog and have tears in my eyes. So glad you like the "Brown house" and you are settled in with all your belongings. I told the Hungerfords they would know you at the airport as the bag lady. Can't wait to skype tonight and see you beautiful smiling face. I miss that each morning, although sometime when you got home from work, it wasn't always a smile.
ReplyDeleteTook your book back to Grace and am keeping up with your donation to the Grace food pantry.Love
Congrats on a safe trip and setting up your new home. Sorry to hear the village dogs are making running difficult, but I knew it wouldn't take long for you to attract followers. We miss you already and are looking forward to our next Skype date.
ReplyDeleteFYI--Tony Hughes was one of the runners at the Mini who asked Chris P. where you were. Kenyans won again. 1:03 for the guy, 1:12 for the gal. Ridiculous.
Love, Daddio
Ali--Understand you're putting together a soccer camp for the kids. What do you need and when do you need it? Have already received a bag of Cobra uniforms from the Fabbros. We'll collect all the goodies and get them off to you.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work. Love, daddio
hi ali! missing you and so glad you are doing well :) love you, katie d.
ReplyDeleteps- hope the couple you hosted were as good of a roomate as i was!!
