Hi Sawah!

Hey sistah! This blogger thing is a bloddy blugger...ha ha ha. No, but wow, it's kinda techy-crazy. Let me guess, Jonathan helped hook you up with it? Anyway, it was wonderful to hear from you because I have been thinking about you and missing you a lot lately. We watched The Last Samurai and perhaps that is why. How is teaching going? Are you starting to get the hang of everything and building relationships with the people and students around you? I hope so. I pray for you all the time about that. Well my fourth and final year at Bethel began on Thursday. I moved in last Tuesday and Thursday was when student teaching workshops began. Even though the students won't start until this Thursday, my year has technically already began. Camp ended so quickly - but on a perfect and positive note - that being here at Bethel University is a little bit strange. Student teaching won't be a dreadful as I thought it would be, but stil won't be thrilling. There's a lot of self motivation and self pep talks going on. I'm sure once I get into the groove of things I'll be more excited about it. I hope so. Well, I just wanted to quickly say hello. This email - or is it a blogmail...hmmm? - is rather vague I feel. Sorry for that. Know that my heart beats for you Sarah. Post another bloody blogger so I can smile and be happy from hearing about life in Japan. I love you, Sis'! :) Emily Kate
