Family I am glad that you are with such a nice family. Tell them thank you from me. It was thoughtful of them to include Laurie. Your trip will soon come to an end. What an adventure! Enjoy your last few days. We miss you both and will be glad for you to be back home.
hello I'm glad you got some down time and were able to rest. It's tough going so much. I wonder why they call the kids "spastic". It is kind of a funny word. Hope to see you soon!
Sarah! I love your pictures! That picture of you and your friend is so cute! And that fish would have scared me too! I am glad you are experiencing such awesome stuff! I cant wait to talk to you when you come home!
Hey, Sarah worry I haven't emailed lately. I've been busy with end of the year stuff and packing up the room. The school is awesome. You look so cute with the fourth graders. I hope everything is going well. You are still in my prayers. Love in Christ Hope :)
What an interesting day learing about all the schools and how they are run! Loved the pictures. Brooke requests more pictures with Sarah in them. She said where is a picture of "my Sarah"? She also wants to tell you that she is watching Little Bear. Troy is in Dallas for the night so we are having a slumber party.
The Sophia museum must has been fabulous seeing the mosiacs. Wow! The fish looked yucky with the head still attached. You are so brave! I hope it tasted good. You have had to have such an open mind. You are awesome. It sounds as if everyone is getting tired and ready to come home. Soon, very soon. Just day dream of that fabulous spa resort. I looked it up on line - it's incredible! It will be well worth the wait once you get there. I love seeing your pictures and reading your blog. Hang in there and have fun. Love ya!
1/2 way done already Sarah, I know it is hard to believe but your experience is already half way over. Another two weeks and you can have all the home cooking (or McDonald's if you prefer) you want. Sometimes you have to go very far away to appreciate the things you have every day and take for granted. It is probably stressful and inconvenient at times, but I'm sure when you look back years from now, you wouldn't trade this adventure for anything. Give my best to all on the team and hang in there. We here back home are all so proud of our representatives over there.
Hello Sarah, I have enjoyed reading all your blogs. I talked to Ronnie just yesterday and said I haven't received one in a while. I know they are keeping you very busy there, and well fed! I wish I coud send you some crawfish or a delicious I Hop breakfast. What you are experiencing is great and will always be remembered. But I think there is no place like home. I wish you well and hope to see you soon. Erika
Hey! I love reading your stuff! Its super interesting and it sounds like you are having alot of fun and experiencing alot of cool stuff and learning alot about a new culture! Be Safe and I cant wait to talk to you when we are both back in the USA!
I can't believe you only have three more weeks to go! Good for you getting some BK. When you get home, I bet you'll be craving meatballs after a few weeks and cucumbers for breakfast. j/j
Enjoy yourself and send some more pictures. I love it!
hello there Wow! You must have felt so important meeting the governor and the mayor. That is awesome! The cave looked incredible. I've only been to the Natural Bridge Caverns by New Braunfels. They are so neat, but a little spooky thinking how far underground you are. Maybe I can use some of the Turkish dancing for my workouts at 24. That would be hilarious! Can't wait to hear what you will be doing next! Have fun!
Thank you! Sarah, I've never been on a GSE trip and for the first time, I feel like I am getting to travel along with a team. Thank you so much for the frequent blog posts and photos. The days must be very long for you all, but it is already 1/4 over. Before you know it, you'll be back on the plane for the long trip home. Enjoy every minute, soak up every detail.
WOW! I think I would enjoy watching grease wrestling. The picture sure makes up for the description. You and Laurie are having the experience of a lifetime.
Yes, I am jealous!!!!
Love To You Both!!!
I tasted the lamb liver AND quit asking what thing are that are on 1my plate. I'd starve if I knew everything that I was eating. I will be so glad to have some "normal food"... no more cheese, cucumbers or tomatoes for breakfast!!!! I need steak and not processed meat! Its not that bad, but I will be glad to have some cold cereal and milk.
hi I'm so glad you are enjoying your new host family. You look really happy. I can't believe you have pink eye and had to go to the doctor in a foreign country. Hopefully you will be better soon. The Mardi Gras bead story was great. cute picture! I am reading your posts to Brooke and told her where you are. She said, "But Mommy, Sarah lives in Louisanna." I am going to show her on a map where Turkey is now. Have a great day. We are headed to gymnastics.
cracking up Okay, first I know that Ronnie would be cracking up about the grease wrestling. I'm glad you included pictures. I was imagining they were really big guys like Sumo wrestlers.
Luckily you got something other than meatballs for dinner. You are going to be ready for some crawfish or a steak with Ronnie.
I bet it was so neat to wear the scarf and go into the Mosque. I think I would have been a little nervous at first.
The blog is great. I feel like I am there with you and I love the pictures. Keep having fun. We miss you, but continue to enjoy your trip. Like you said, you will probably never see these people again. Enjoy them and all the culture. Love ya!
hang in there! Sarah,
You are learning and experiencing more than you can imagine right now. You will be even more considerate and kind to people due to your experience tonight. You are such a sweet person and outgoing that I know it was tough for you. Hang in there! Tomorrow is a new day.
Also, did you eat the lamb liver?
WOW! Glad ya'll made it safe. Keep the updates coming! This makes it easier having you and Laurie so far away. By the way tell Laurie CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Keeping your entire group in my prayes for a safe, educational and FUN experience.
Love You Both Lots
