Cards Received, 2000
Special 2000
Auntie Catherine: "I have wanted to tell you for a long long time that you are a lovely young lady, loving and caring to people around you. Most likely you do not realize how much we appreciate you. It is our fault because we do not take time to tell you so. We make that mistake often. Most feelings are hidden and not demonstrated. The typical Chinese conservatism, I guess! This note serves to share with you that you are a young friend whom we highly regard and treasure. We have watched you grow up. Though there were challenges and battles that you have walked through, which we were not too aware ofthem, one thing we are convinced is that the Lord is with you. We bought this book Esther for you. When you feel lonely like Esther, seek comfort in the Lord and know that he can empower. Happy reading!"
Shirley: "Thank you all so much for writing the birthday card for me. It is absolutely marvelous, and it is always nice to receive presents, especially when it is a collaborative effort. Cheers and Love, Shirley."
Andrea: "Thank you, Leslie, for just being the selfless and caring sister in Christ to me. I am always encouraged by your willingness to share joys and burdens that the Lord places in your life. I am constantly humbled to witness your hope and joy in the Lord. Continue to persevere and fix your eyes on the Lord and He will surely guide and strengthen you. We should definitely get together to hang after I get back from the Orient. May we continue to encourage each other and prayerfully walk with one another. Love you!" (the card has Isaiah 40:31 on it)
Moving 2000
Frances and Mel: "Happy Housewarming!"
Lynn: "Congratulations on getting your own pad! Hope that your move is a smooth one, and you enjoy your first apartment! :)"
Andrea: "Dear Leslie, May the LORD keep you and make His face shine upon you in your new HOME. The LORD is indeed our fortress, our shield, and our provider. I am encouraged by your honesty and thoughtful care for others. I'm sorry to switch party dates on you, but I'd still definitely like to help in any way I can for next week's party. (besides grocery shopping) I thank God for your friendship and sisterhood." (the card has Galatians 5:6 on it)
Dennis: "To Leslie: I hope the gifts are stuff you need. I would really like to check out your apartment sometime. Ciao!"
Lydia: "Dear Leslie, Happy Housewarming! Here's a photo album to put in your first impressions of your new home!"
Birthday 2000
Elaine: "Dearest Leslie, Happy Early Birthday! I'm so sorry I will make your B-Day Party. :( But when I get back from Houston, we will definitely spend some time together, okay? I want to thank you for your friendship as well, and I hope your walk with God continues to grow as we go through our pilgrimage together. I hope you like the gift as I know you like to read!"

Andrea: "Dear Leslie, Happy Birthday! I just want to take this time to express how much of a blessing you are in my life and the lives of others. God has truly sculpted you as a special person with a beautiful heart which radiates out from how much you care for others. Leslie, I pray that you may continue to grow in Christ as you continue to draw strength from His will - through His word, through prayer, and taking steps of faith. God bless! Love always, Andrea." (the card has Jeremiah 29:11 on it)

Elizabeth and James: "Happy Birthday, Leslie! You've come a long way! We are so proud of you! God's got great things in store for ya! Never forget just what a precious new person in Christ you are! You are a royal princess, co-inheritor of the Kingdom of God! Lots of love, Elizabeth and James."
