Wow Becky this is so amazing that you are out there doing all of this. I can't believe it! I loved reading your blog it is like a story out of a book. It just doesn't seem like my cousin is really out there. I wish I could be as brave as you. I can't wait for the next story. Be safe and have lots of fun! Luv ya
I'm sooo jealous!!! Becky,
I totally meant to get in contact with you before you left the States, but of course I forgot with all the craziness that's come my way the end of this semester. Any way, I wanted to let you know that if you ever get in a bind and don't have a place to stay, let me know because being a YWAMer gives you the benefit of LOTS of friends ALL Over the World! =) If you need a place in Cambodia, I have some really amazing friends over there, who could hook you up. But yeah, I'm pretty much jealous of the adventures experienced and those yet to come for you in the next couple of months. I'm sure you'll have fun, but it sure does have to come at a cost. Be encouraged, I am praying for you!
Another question (Sorry this is soo long) I'm going back to the Big Island for Christmas break and it looks like accomodations for a few of my days may have fallen through and am wondering what the story is with this couchsurfing network...is it legit, how exactly does it work?
Well, my dear friend, keep on pressing on!
Joy
P.S. I totally know what you mean about going up to heaven with those people next to you, there's something so very delightful about worshiping the Lord among diversity and I'm sure it brings great joy to Him as He receives such a beautiful form of worship! =)
OOOHHHH - I'm loving hearing all this great stuff! I'm just getting the hang of how this blog works! I almost missed the newest entry, and am so thankful I didn't! Becky, you sure crammed alot of excitement into those 10 minutes on the computer! I can just hear Dallas, "C'mon Becky, just ignore the screeching deer!" What an answer to my prayers that God is providing contacts along the way and you are seeing His hand every day. We are all loving the blogging and are waiting anxiously to read the next one! Love, Mom
Thinking of you Only you could do this Becky! I am so proud of you! My thoughts and prayers are with you and Dallas. Have fun and stay safe. I love you and look forward to hearing more stories! Luv Aunt Kathy
It's Dallas' sister! Becky,
though you do not know me, I felt it ok to write a little comment seeing as though you are traveling with my little bro, so I guess you DO know me!! :) I am so grateful that you are keeping a blog and so entertainingly (is that even a word?) keeping us up on what you two are doing, knowing full well that although dallas has full intentions of writing a blog, it will probably never happen! Thank God it's not just him, I'd never even know if he made it to LAX to leave!!! It sounds like you guys are having a blast. Good for you! tell dallas that I say hi and that of course I miss him. continue to be safe and I will be praying for both of you as you continue your journey.
God bless,
Carissa
Growth Becky:
It is so good to hear how God is working in your life on this trip specifically. It sounds as though He is bringing you into the lives of people He is really wanting to reach. Know that you are planting strong seeds of growth in them, as God is growing a strong woman of Christ in you. I am so glad you are on this journey...spiritually as well as physically. Continue to keep your eyes open to opportunities for growth, not only in you, but in those who God puts in your path.
God love you girl...can't wait for the next blog.

What an adventure!!! Hey Becky and Dallas,
I just called your dad to get some info....I only got the one e-mail from Dal that said you got to Tokyo safely. He gave me your travelblog so I can keep up on your adventures! Dallas, don't forget your mom, OK! Thanks, Becky, for the wonderful update - I really appreciate it :-) I'm praying for you two daily, all through the day, too. Dal, today was Daddy's birthday, so I was a bit melancholy. He would be so happy that you are realizing a dream. Have a great day!
Exciting!! Hey Becky! I'm so excited for you! I love the pictures. Wish I was there with you; it must be beautiful! Pizza Hut? Wow, reminds you of America and all that good stuff. Remember us! I'm still praying that you will have an AWESOME experience travelling.....God Bless!
Hi there Hope u had a happy sushi day! It is fun seeing places I have never been through your eyes Becky! Keep the pictures coming! Be safe and we are praying for you both! We love you!
You're Amazing! Becky,
I'm so excited for you and proud that you're trusting the Lord with all your life. Thank you for sharing your experiences and photos. Know that we're praying for you and trusting you will come back to us safe and sound with tons of stories!
Debra is only about 10 days away from her delivery due date. I'm SO excited. Bri is now a 'free' woman and doing very well. So, when you're in prayer, please keep those two held up. Thanks!
I love you sweetheart!
God bless you!
rock and roll this is all so fantastic! i can not believe it. what are you going to do about getting stoned?...er...that doesn't sound right. rocked?....what are you going to do when people throw rocks at you? you should chase them with your left hand flailing. i love you my friend. be safe.
Sushi baby! Beck:
I loved your blog on the trip over to Japan, and the stuff you are seeing and experiencing. It reminded me of OUR flight over to Belgium in 2000. I was glad to hear your flight to Japan was a pleasant one. I don't remember feeling that way when we got to Europe.
PLEASE tell me you have had some real Japanese SUSHI. As jealously courses through my veins, I wish you the very best adventures in Japan. :) I hope to go one day myself.
All my best,
Dena
WOW! Sleeping on the mountain ???? What a great adventure. How great that you've meet so many nice people. Next time show me pictures with people in them.
Yikes That truly is Japantastic! So interesting and sad. Thanks for teaching us back here in America all about the things you learn. I'll make sure to teach you what I learn. For instance, only in America can a homeless man become a multi millionaire.
you made it! becky! I missed your call on saturday and didn't realize when I went to call you back that you are already gone! Sad times for me! I'm so happy that you made it safely over there- you cracked me up when you said tokyo is like LA- not too many white people! love it.
Well, happy thanksgiving tomorrow! I don't think you'll find many turkey's in japan, but I'm sure you'll find some nice blowfish or something, just dribble a little cranberry sauce on whatever you find and you'll feel right at home! Don't miss us- you'll have a million other thanksgivings to eat turkeys in america! enjoy this one!
Jordan and I will be praying for your safety!
I miss you already! Have such a wonderful time! I am going to go nuts not being able to see you until March! Plan a trip to good ol' Grass Valley to come see me as soon as you get back! I'll call and leave you a message sooooooon...
I just graduated college and I started my job last May as a firefighter for the US Forest Service...so much fun, but not my ultimate career choice. The Lord has provided the time and money for me to travel this winter and I am taking full advantage of that! I will leave November 20 and arrive home March 17, 2007. Most of the time will be spent in South East Asia, India, and Europe. I have never travelled like this before and I have absolutely no idea what to expect. It makes me a tad nervous, but I am thrilled and thankful for the opportunity. I can't wait for the unexpected, the awkward momen... full info
