I love you.

Gracie Lou,

You are an amazing young lady. You have made me laugh so many times. It will be so neat to see you learn and grown in Christ. You are going to rock as an MK. I’m excited to hear about how God will use you in this new venue of your life.

Merry Christmas to you and your family. I know you will do your best to make sure the Lesotho people have all things you want to give them.

Love you,
Debbie Mardell

Gracie what an amazing young girl you have become I love to hear you laugh Believe me with your heart and love for Jesus you won’t have any problem making friends but remember the friends God has blessed you with here will always be in your heart God makes room for you to love more.
You will always be in my heart
I love you

Hi Gracie!
It was great seeing you and Bekah and Anna and your parents last night. I hope you had fun. I know I had tons of fun!! Thank you for all the hugs! I love you!
Dalia
P.S. I hope you didn’t eat all the lollipops last night!

Hi Grace! You know how to make a woman cry, girlfriend! You have grown into such a beautiful young lady. I can’t wait to see what God has for you in Africa!

Hey, how is Richmond are you driving the people crazy? Ha, ha, ha!!! Willard and Springfield are out of school because of snow, sleet and ice…you would need to be dressed like the picture above. Stephanie, Hannan, Karen and myself played outside for awhile. They went sledding, and we walked to the pond and to Grandma’s and Grandpa’s. While we were there we feed the horse and the cows for Grandpa. Stephanie sure wanted to see you one more time and kept waking up Sunday night thinking about if you were getting up, heading to the airport yet, etc…
She feel a little better because of the webcam, although I’m not sure when we’ll get one especially because of the weather. We’ll let you know. Love and miss you.

And I thought I was short, but guess not compared to Lottie Moon. Have fun at school and don’t give your new teacher too much trouble.

Love you and miss you,

Debbie D

Hey Gracie,
I was really happy being able to hang out with ya’ll one more time!! I pray for you and everyone everyday!! I am really going to miss all of you especially during the hosanna project! Well love you guys!!

Gracie Lou,

I passed you while running today! OK, it was on the WiiFit, but it was exciting! I really enjoy working out and seeing my little friends! You help me get motivated to exercise! Thanks! It also helps me think about when you made your characters and the fun we had.

Love,
Susie

Hi Gracie,

How are you? GA’s is good. We miss you!

Love,
Jordan

Hey Gracie,
I guess you noticed. We’re letting the GA’s write e-mails and then we will send them to you. We’re going to try to let them to that once a month. It was Ms Glenda’s idea. She’s so good.
It’s normal to have mixed feelings about happy to be their but missing things here. It will get easier, but more than that you will get stronger. “The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face shine upon you and give you peace.”
I love you my MK sister.
Karen

Dear Gracie,
I miss you so much! GA’s isn’t the same without you. Also, I can’t believe that Lottie Moon is as tall as I am. What do you think about your new home and school? Do you have some new friends? Did you have a Valentine party at your new school? I am sending you a Valentine in the mail. You should get it next week.

Love,
Allison

dear gracie, do you remember me? i was one of the girls you ate with on saturday. how is school?
do you ever do school like math and stuff? or is it all missionaries stuff? do you homeschool?
how is school? maybe we could talk to each other through this. it’s cool. love olivia

Hey grace do you rember when you went down in church to say you were a Christin and your Dad said” I’m going to ask Stephanie, Gracie”s good friend, to come down with here with her”. I miss you so munch! See you on Skype!!!
Stephanie

Grace,
I miss your hugs. I am glad to hear that you are liking school and I absolutely loved reading your testimony. You are becoming a mature young lady in Christ. I am very proud of you. I love you.

Gracie, Gracie, Gracie, I just read your mother’sblog about your trip to Washington, DC. I am soooooo proud of you. You are already not just an MK, but a missionary. To share your faith with a stranger on the metro was really showing God how much you love Him and care about telling everyone you see how He loves them too. I was so happy when you phone me from wal-mart. To hear your voice made me happy and sad all at the same time. I’m happy you get to go to Africa, but sad I won’t see you for a long time.
I pray for you girls and your parents everyday asking God to protect you, keep you healthy and to be able to love and share ‘the good news’ with all your new friends in Lasotho.
Love you lots, Delinda

Gracie,
You blessed me the other day when I got your note. That was so sweet for you to think of me. I love you so much, and miss you like crazy. I hope things are going well. I can’t wait to come over there and see your beautiful country!

Gracie,
I love you so much and love knowing you painted the fingernails of the little girls in Africa. Someday I’ll be there right next to you with new colors and we’ll do them together. God can work through nail polish!
Bekah

Dear Gracie–I am so thankful your finger is ok!!!
You are getting so grown up, but I
have a favorite memory of that day
in Springfield when we figured out
how to put “My Little Pony” on your
computer!!! Fun times!!
I love you!!!!
Mam-Maw

Hey Gracie,
I cried when I read about your recognition service. I am so proud of you. I miss you and I love you very much.

Go Forward!!
Karen

Hi Gracie,
You all have all kinds of pets! I’m glad your mom isn’t the squeemish type. I remember “collecting” all kinds of creepy crawlers for Charlie and Sam when they were younger and putting them in jars so they could examine them up close. Then we’d release them. I also had an ant farm for my Kindergarteners when I was teaching. It was cool to watch the ants working together. One can learn a lot from an ant! Love you girls, Dalia

Dear Gracie – I just want to tell you how much I enjoy your blog..I check it nearly every day……I love your pictures and your thoughts..it’s the nearest thing to actually seeing you right now. You are lookking so grownup. I love you and I’m sending a great big hug!!! Be sweet!!!!Mam-maw
