Sami

Sami has been one of my best friends since the summer of 2009, when we both worked at Flathead Lutheran Bible Camp. I was working in the kitchen, and she was a counselor, and it was basically love at first sight. She was definitely one of the organizers of "Jasmine Appreciation Day" that happened that summer, I still don't know who all was involved in that, but Sami came over to the corner where I was baking that day, and every hour, on the hour, she would bang on drum and give me an "hourly affirmation". In 2010, when Sami and I worked together at FLBC again, Sami's family adopted me for Family Weekend, since my family couldn't come, and I appreciate them so much for always making me feel like a part of their family. In August of 2012 Sami came to England as part of the YAGM program, she was at a different placement than the one I am currently at, but I got to spend a weekend with her before she left, the last weekend of July 2012. In fact, the last time that I saw her was at the Helena bus station, when I had to go back home, on July 30 2012. a little over 5 1/2 years ago. I miss her so much, I've been missing her for years, and when I get back to the States, one of my first priorities is to see her. Best friends for almost 6 years, and hopefully for the rest of our lives, and a love story that was, at least one time, referred to as "The Greatest Love Story Ever Told, except for that One about Jesus and How He Died on the Cross for Our Sins."
