Nora Here

Hey guys.

Yeah, I have been slacking big time lately... since I haven't been consistent with my three short runs with a long run on the weekends I have been doing longer runs when I actually go out. I ran 5 miles later last week and I will run 6 miles today. I've been pleasantly surprised at how I feel when I do the long runs though. I'm really into the groove of longer distance running now. It feels good. This past weekend was a BLAST in Annapolis. That town is amazing and it was awesome hanging out with Jamie and Tyler's friends... Weird visiting Annapolis without Tyler though... I'll see him in 18 days in Honduras!

Speaking of Honduras, Tyler asked if we would like to make those "Jesus story" bracelets to give to the kids in Honduras. I don't remember if I talked to everyone about that or not. Would you guys want to get together sometime this weekend and make a whole bunch? Mom said her class could do some as well... how cool! I think it would be great to get pictures and video of my mission group giving these bracelets to the kids and letting everyone who helped make them see the effect it had on people. Also, Tyler just put another post on his website,

I really felt moved by this last post he made. He really has a way with words and he is becoming extremely attached to the people of Honduras.. it really showed with this post. Anyway, I don't know if you guys have been able to look at his website at all but seeing all the pictures and his writings is so cool. I like to think he's doing this mission for all of the people who wish they could do it but can't for various reasons. Anyway, check it out if you want and pray for his safety always!

A funny story he told me about being there... if you see a picture of him with four young Honduran girls, he says they remind him of what the Harm girls were probably like. He said they just HUNG on him all day and were playing and joking with him. They were the cutest things ever but SO overwhelming and he said he felt for dad because he imagined that's probably what we were like at some point in time! Just thought that was funny... anyway, love you guys and let me know about making those bracelets this weekend! I'll find out my work schedule and plan for a time to either go to Laura's or whatever. KEep up with the running... Sarah is right, Florida is coming FAST! We gotta start incorporating pilates into our workouts... or yoga, just something to help tone. Love ya!
