Living and learning in Minneapolis…trying to frequent as many fun cheap places to eat as possible…running when I’m able…trying to follow Jesus as best I can…and feeling a little sad that winter is coming so soon!

Lauren – Thanks for sending us your new blog address. Sounds like you are doing well an adjusting to a new culture and environment. We miss you (at Women’s Advocates) and are wishing you the best when you start your new teaching job. A new set of 5month old twins came in over the weekend – cuties! Your replacment, Alaena started today. E.T. probably passed on to you…..Alaena just returned from Africa
(Tanzania) and has been working there for the past year as the communication coordinator for a childrens’ shelter that houses homeless children. Ish’t that ironic?
Take Care. R
I miss you!!! And stil can’t believe you are half-way around the world. I am so excited for you and can’t wait to hear more stories. I am so sorry we never got together before you left. I reallly wish we had. It would have been so great to really catch-up. I wish you well and look foward to hearing from you. Your experiences and environment sound absolutely amazing and transforming. All my love and best wishes–Shannon
Hey Laur,
So good to hear from you! You’ve been in my thoughts and prayers! It was so awesome to see you in the airport as you embarked on your journey. Sounds like you are acclamating well. Hehe hearing your stories of internet troubles and mosquito nets definitely reminds me of Africa. Funny the little things that seem so strange at first. By the way, it’s so good to read of how God is providing for you, It is so clear to see that His hands are on you. Well, I hope you have a wonderful day.
Peace,
Jess
I’m so proud of everything you’re doing over there!!
Hi Lauren! My name is Bettina and I live in Duluth. I lived in Ethiopia from Jan 07 to Oct 07 and am planning on returning in the coming months for work. I would love to connect with you. I hope you are healing fast and will be back on your feet soon.
Please feel free to contact me!!!
The website is an old one of mine (from when in Addis) the new one is http://www.somedaytoofaraway.blogspot.com
Hi Lauren- I just read your miraculous story in the Duluth paper. What an amazing example of true faith in Christ! I’m in the process of adopting from Ethiopia and I live abroad. It’s pretty cool to think of me receiving this story all the way in Korea. You are a true inspiration! Blessings,Deborah
Hey Lauren, It’s good to hear about your progress and that you are still so steadfast in your faith!! I am still enjoying the students at Desta Mender. We have now completed the Headway book and have just started into the books that Kristin brought over from the US. The level is a good challenge for them. It’s nice to be able to go out there twice a week, as I am getting to know them much better. We miss you and wish you Go’s blessings in your recovery.

LAUREN! I just posted a picture on facebook of a bunch of LPBCers hanging out by a lighthouse near Duluth that summer of 2002. You were in the picture, and Susie Swyter commented, “Does anyone know how Lauren recovered and how to contact her??” I was like, “HUH???” So I proceeded to google you (where I found an article about your back injury!!!!) and look through old e-mails from you (where I rediscovered this blog address). And I just want you to know that you’re on my heart today, and I’m sorry we’ve lost touch. What a journey you’ve been on!! I’m so thankful to God that you have recovered and continue to be such a blessing to others. I wish we could hang out again and spend time catching up. You are quite special to me, and I have lovely memories of the crazy fun times we had. I hope that you’re doing very well and that you know how LOVED you are! Many many blessings and peace to you, dear. . .
