Hi Sam. Looks like you're having a good time from viewing your photos. Glad to hear your feeling better. Your entry for All Stars night was interesting!, bit different to all the others. You look nice in the blue Sari wore for the Princess of Thailand visit. Say hello to Tracy & Owen for me and thinking of you all have a nice break soon, hope you go somewhere nice. God Bless Love Carole & Zoe xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hiya Sam.An ultra quick message today as we are all getting ready to set off on our hol to Eurodisney! I couldnt say anything before as we only told kids when they got home from school last night.They were well surprised and very happy! so,I will speak to you in a weeks time.God bless as always.p.s. Claire's photos were not boring at all,they were fab.we just like to tease her mind you,there were a lot!!!.love from Dot and familyxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Well hello Sammy!!!! Finally made it to your journal!! Took me a while to get to the right place this afternoon, your Mum gave me the wrong address before!!!! But I'm here now and I've been catching up on what you've been doing since I came home Sounds like you've been doing good babe since I left You may have heard I got Salmonella just before I left, I think I know which omelette in Bangalore it was...!! Feeling loads better now though, I've had a cold as well, maybe I got that in Ooty as well!!!! Doubt it though.

The photos look fab, is it Ozzy Beth that's helping you in your dorm now? Is she doing ok? Have they moved into a house on campus now? Are they staying a bit longer as well now? Please say Hi to Beth for me I played that video at the all stars night, as you know, the song I put to it was from the jungle book, 'Wanna be like you', it went with it really well

It was really weird when I got back, it was like I'd never been away, only the photos (of which there are over 200!!) to prove otherwise. I bored everyone at Dot stop going through them all It's nice having my straightners again, but actually missed being there. Went into Asda a couple of weeks after I got back (when I was off work with Salmonella) and was walking past the indian food counter and smelt the cooking and got a real hankering for something and ended up buying all sorts of little things and walking round asda eating them

You're nearly half way through your stint there now, glad you're making the most of the experience. Missing you loads (hope you're looking after your stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Lots of Love Me

hi sam, new photos are great and the palace,scenery etc. are absolutely stunning.You look really good too.I would have loved to have come on the cross country ! I would have given you a piggy back ride,ha ha. just read your mum's quip about not getting on the computer. its the same here but I have to get at the back of the queue of 4 people. Davy being the worst!!!! Well, only a week to go before I can tell you the surprise for Beth and family.God bless you Sammy and slow down on the Vit B! READ THE LABEL Lots of love Dot and (computer hogging) family xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Miss u! Thank you so much for your email the other day, it made me smile. Got so much to tell you, will send it over email in the next few days. xxx

Missing you today. It seems as though you've been away for ages. Been praying for you a lot. Can't believe I've actually managed to get onto the computer at last to send you a message!! (Peter's been hogging it recently.) The mural looks as though it will be lovely when it's finished - nice and bright and friendly. God bless,

Love Mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh Sammy....This is the first time I've looked on here and sitting here in French (tut tut!) looking at pictures of you, I'm nearly crying!! But it's so nice to hear and see that you're having fun! I miss you so much sweetie, but am glad that God's working and all is well! Reading about the stuff you're up to makes me think those other IGs don't know how lucky they are to be able to see you everyday! I'm so jealous lol. But, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Love you so so much and can't wait to hear from you again babe! Praying EVERYDAY! (And glad the talks went ok, I prayed about them too!)

Love you loads and loads and loads, Beth xx (P.S. This turban dance sounds interesting, you'll have to show me when you get back! Lol. It's like that pic I have of you on my phone, with your scarf round your head!! Lol.) xx

Hi Sam. Everybody loved your dance in a turban at the All Stars night. We miss you and sad not to have you around, but you are doing a great job out at Hebron.It always amazes me how many different places the childrens parents come from and how they are all serving God in amazing way. It's great that they can trust their children with great people like you , Owen and Tracy !

Take care and God bless xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hiya Sam.All Stars night was great fun and seemed like a great success. Well done for your performance too! It looked really good set to music and received a round of applause.I love reading your diary entries and it thrills me to know that you are enjoying reading your family and friends messages over and over.I have to say ,it is strange not having you around but its a small price to pay for you to have such a mega experience and especially for serving Our Lord Jesus.wow! All is well here,Davy is good,Jordan is busy rehearsing for a drama 'Our day out' by Willy Russell at Ossy theatre in April and Bethany is getting excited because se is going to be 6 on 31st March.Can't say too much at the moment but she is going to have a massive surprise.will tell you more in a week or so.Anyway got to go for the moment.will be back in a few days,hee hee.God bless, lots of love Dot and familyxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hey im gussin from ur pics that you like that gold turban ofurs (were? you get it) ooh i have to say that the church really enjoyed your entry into the talent contest well good luck and have fun.

Love from all of us
