7/2/14 I gave my little sister, Deandra, $10 because she was going on a trip with my family to Boston. I gave Enessa and Farra $5 because they weren't. In the morning, I found thank you notes for me that they wrote and little love notes. You would have thought I gave them a million dollars.

7/18/14 Wisdom from John Ong: If this person is the hardest person in the world to get along with, then they are also the hardest person in the world to love. But if you can learn to love them, you can love the whole world. Also, good experiences are delightful, challenging experiences bring growth.

7/22/14 Krystal and I were driving to the Ohio site and planned to meet up with Rob and his team there. We rolled up and found a man in an orange shirt and white fan with a beard.
