friend of samfords - From: Day 4 of the Arusha Campaign
Hi, my name is Lindsey Iten. My husband, David, and I are friends of Carey & Bonnie Samford - went to Bear Valley together. Just wanted to say I really enjoy your blog. Your writing and photos are such an encouragement and so much fun to look at. I've browsed it a few times, just never had time to leave a comment. I found it awhile back while googling the Samfords blog b/c I always forget their website address. :)

Oh Julie! How wonderful to hear of Hannah's Nursery School's progress. I am so excited to hear that a certified teacher is with the children. I hope this "project" continues to grow. It is encouraging to know that Brent is having so many Bible studies with the parents of the children and that the teachers are also studying and obeying the gospel. Keep up the good work and please let Timothy know that we are praying for him as he faces many, many responsibilities. Love, Cindy D

great job - From: A Year in Review
As usual, Julie, you have done a great job with your photographs and documentation of the work. I applaud your effort and time spent, not only on the blog, but on the actual work itself. I honestly don't know how you find the time and energy to do it all. Have a wonderful furlough, but from experience, I can tell you that the word "furlough" is not spelled "v-a-c-a-t-i-o-n". Ha/ha May God bless you in all your travels and reporting and may you come back safe and sound. TG

Airline tickets once a year is not too much to ask for the work you do.

Kelly, congratulations... I am very proud of you! I recall graduating from high school and being very apprehsive about what to do next. You have an opportuntiy before you that I did not have, by continuing your education. I did go back to school at mid life, but I spent a few years finding my way. Make the most of this opportunity. Study hard and prepare yourself for your future... but don't try to plan out your life. Only God knows what turns your life will take. So prepare for whatever He has in store for you. Walk throught the open doors... and don't try to open the ones that are closed. God bless you son. GW

I enjoy your updates! and as always enjoy the pictures! I laughed as you said you will remember this Christmas and laugh because you boiled water! Sounds like our Christmas here in Wisconsin. Our power was out (because we had a wet/heavy snow that outed the power lines) and with all these people here and we had no water or electricity for a day and a half. We melted snow to flush toilets. We had pans going on the gas stove for hours! We did enjoy each other and laugh a lot about our "misfortune"! Your dad and Cindy had such a good time there...I'm so glad they went! Love you all...
