It's Mom reporting in on Amy's farewells and departure. We wanted to thank everyone for all the love and support they have shown the past few weeks from phone calls, to visits, and all the rest. It has been an overwhelming feeling of love. We really know that Amy has been raised by a village. This morning we leave for Salt Lake City and she enters into the Missionary Training Center (MTC) this Wednesday. We should be receiving her first of many e-mails which I will post weekly starting in about a week.
Also, some of you may be wondering where the title of her blog came from: 'THE' Amy. Well let me explain.... Last year when she was living in Denmark, her Danish friends were chatting with some people who vaguely knew of Amy. Amy tried to explain to the new people who she was. She told them that she was the girl from California studying abroad. You know, Amy, the Amy that people talk about. After her Danish friends heard her call herself "THE Amy" they occasionally (lovingly) teased her for her bold self-description. From then on her Danish friends have referred to her as THE Amy. It just kind of fits and has stuck with her. :)
Again thank you, and we love each of you. I know she has shared her blog address with many, please pass on the address to those friends who might be interested in sharing this experience with Amy.
