Jean in Newcastle Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I could not believe it! She is a Japanese woman who is a missionary in S. Korea. I knew her when I was a teen. She told me that she called my dad and got my telephone number. I was so surprised to hear from her. We had a nice talk in cobbled together English and Japanese (my language skills have slipped a bit but it improved even as we talked). It was so encouraging to talk to her since I've had a not so nice day. I had to tell someone about it! (It's after midnight where my dad is so I can't talk to him about it).

SonshineLearner Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 That's awesome! I just looked up a couple of friends from when I was younger...kinda fun! I don't know if they'll end up calling me...I'll see. But anyway, I'm excited for you! What fun! Carrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plansrme Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Isn't it nice to know that you made enough of a positive impact on someone's life that, after all these years, she thinks well of you? Several years ago, I tracked down a teacher I'd had in college 20 years before and e-mailed him about how much I'd learned in his class that I still use today. He was so flattered and reported that his wife said he should frame my e-mail. I was happy to have made his day that I started trying to think of other teachers who'd had that same impact. Couldn't think of any. :glare: Terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
