Hello everyone,
This is both SKYE and CARINA! (Skye + Carina = Skyrina 
) It won’t usually be like this, us together, but we just made this blog today and we’re excited to share with you our soon approaching ADVENTURES!!!
Tonight is our last night together in the dorms as neighbors… :*( We just ate a pint of ice cream – chocolate chip cookie dough – and a bag of Trolli’s sour brite crawlers…and we’re thoroughly full!
Ok, down to business. As most of you know, both of us will be traveling this summer to our respected countries with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. Carina will be the first to leave, June 18th with Missy and Michelle (the M&Ms) to San Francisco, joining other team members to then fly to Taipei, Taiwan on the 20th. After an 8 hr layover, then finally to Bangkok, Thailand for a week of orientation. And after that, on to Calcutta (Kolkata), India! Not exactly sure what she’ll be doing, but we’ll find out in Bangkok. Carina hopes that her spiritual gifts will be employed to their fullest. So with primary placement, she would like to work with the Calcutta branch of International Justice Mission (IJM). They work to bring justice for those victimized by others, crimes such as violence, sexual exploitation, slavery and oppression. This would be a good opportunity considering she wants to go into the field of Law. So we’ll see what happens!
On July 11th, while Carina is in Calcutta, Skye will be boarding a plane from Seattle to Beijing, China — with a layover somewhere in between. After a week of orientation, on to Guyuan, Ningxia. There she will meet her roommate and they will be joined at the hip for the entire 4 weeks, 23(not 4)/7. She and her other teammates — Genevieve, Angel and Christian + others — in addition to relational ministry with their roommates, will be teaching classes on American culture, but details are sparse at the moment. Skye hopes for reasonable — excellent — amazing, beyond amazing — the best in the whole world… communication with her roommate. Yeah, basically that. And NOOO stress because of GIANT COCKROACHES and MILLION DEGREE weather.
ok that’s about it for now. PLEASE KEEP US IN YOUR PRAYERS!
check back for more updates as we prepare, and we’d love comments 
Hey, I can’t wait to hear more about your adventures. And, oh ya, love the name

We read your e-mail from Taipei. Reading the weather from Bangkok,
it is between 80 and 90 degrees. It has 11 hrs different (ahead) and India has 14 hrs ahead (I think).
I am so glad to hear from you. Just stay with the group and do not go out late You probably say ‘I know dad’.
I hope this is the right place to submit
the comment.
Mom’s e-mail is taken care. Your mails had been sent out. You also received another support from Jonathan $30.
Talk to you later and take care of yourself.
Dad
