nienie

as the button to the right says, i read nienie.

check it out.

this woman is so inspiring.
her story is absolutely incredible.
she believes what i believe.

i walked into the byu bookstore to sell back my text books {aka christmas gift money, christmas break money.} and i walked right by nienie, her husband, and her two little boys.
is it weird that i feel like i know them?

i went upstairs, sold back my books and walked over to the religious book section. i passed through the children's book section where nienie was checking out books. i stopped and debated whether or not it would be appropriate for me to say something to her. then i just felt like i needed to. so i did. i walked over and told her how inspiring she and her family are. and i got a tad bit emotional. and we chatted for a minute or two. then we wished each other a merry christmas, safe travels, and the best of luck with everything.

and then i felt so good. i am so blessed.

  1. Wow. I was just reading her blog and a new story they published on her today. I feel like that would be super surreal to actually see her in real life.
