Hey women of Building 45! Welcome back to campus. In talking to a few of you it sounds like your summer's were full of traveling and adventure. By now I believe I have met all of you, but for a little refresher my name is Brittany and I am the RA of this building. I am a MOCM/IDS double majoring senior:) I am so excited to meet all you this year. If you need anything, I live in 45F. You can find the toilet paper in a box outside my apartment and if you a vacuum can be checked out from my apartment in exchange for your id card.
As you prepare for Monday and the first week of classes, I hope you have time to process and reflect on the three month journey you just experienced. In order to move forward and grow as individuals, it's imperative to reflect on the struggles you've just overcome, the joy you've just felt, and the acts of love you've just witnessed. This summer I spent a month on a loveworks trip in Thailand teaching english, by myself some of the time,to fifth grade students who didn't know a word of our language.While I was there I began to understand the value and art of journaling as a self-prescribed catharsis. Reading over my journal this week, I have been able to relive my experiences there and rediscover how God's hands are always working, always molding, and always omnipresent. With all that said, I encourage you all to find a way this week to re-evaluate your summer- pros/cons, trials/joys, tears/laughs...I would love to hear about each of your summers... I am a huge coffee fan and can't wait to sip some java with each one of you this year!
Even Mulan knew the value of reflection of her past and who she wanted to become... We all can learn a lesson from Disney.

- Sa wa di kah! I'm Brittany Joi and am a current senior at Point Loma Nazarene University. I am a MOCM and IDS double major) I love the outdoors and experiencing the beauty God created. I enjoy getting to know people and their hopes, dreams, fears, and things that bring them joy- interpersonal relationships fascinate me! I love to cook for people and bring fellowship over a meal. I have a passion for developing countries and being a part of their journey's. I fear commitment and want to experience as many cultures as exist. My ultimate dream in life is to work in higher education, student development, and international ministries. Someday I will use my creativity and innovation to open a bakery/fresh produce market, but until then I will be working for a microfinance institution in Thailand and teaching english!
