I saw Cory yesterday (Wed. June 17, 2009) at the hospital. He said you were home! Surprise!!!!
Are you busy Saturday? If not would you like to meet at Dalton’s midday? We could chat a while with the weekend crew and I will take you to lunch, your choice. If you wish bring your best friend.
Hey Birthday Girl, wow, #20 tomorrow, 26 May 2009. Happy, happy Birthday to you from Betty Floyd, Linda Bradley and me. Linda and I met again at Dalton’s this past Sat. and talked about you (a great subject). Hope you are keeping your most interesting stories you send us. Heard your Dad and friends were able to come visit. What an incredible experience for all. I pray for you and your mission daily. You are making a tremendous difference to all involved. I love you. Stay well and safe. LB
Jayln, The Lord definately has his hand on you. It is totally amazing what you are doing and the excitement and exuberance you exhibit each and every day in Kenya. I realize how emotional it is for you to be separated from your family, but also see the emotions and love that you have for the people of Kenya. If I had a daughter I would pray the LORD made her a carbon copy of you. I enjoyed the time we spent with you last week and pray the LORD brings you back home again safely, (even if only for a short time)as he moves you to the next level. GOD’s blessings to you and will be waiting for your return to GOD’s country (Franklin).
Hey darlin’….last Sat. met Linda Bradley and Betty Floyd at Dalton’s. We had a good chat back by the fireplace. Linda and Betty are such an inspiration to me, just as you are. I love reading your essays about your location and the people. It is evident God is ever present in your life there. I pray for you daily that God will keep you “safe and sound”. Love you much-LB
hi jayln i read your heart.. er.. i mean blog.. today! and i cried. thank you for being transparent- God is changing lives through you- in Kenya AND here. love you and excited for all God is doing!
Jayln, I finally found my way to read and send you a message.
I love reading about all you are experiencing so far away. I just saw someone from your church and they are leaving on Monday. I know you will be glad to see your dad. I love you and
what you are doing with the children over there.You have the heart and God is using you in a very special way. I sure do miss you and your picture is still on my refrigerator. Look forward to you coming back N.C. Love—Hazel
Hi Jayln, Gee 60 & blogging for the first time. I miss you so much. I’ve run into Linda B, my initials too, only I sign things # which stands for lb. Only been to Daltons once in a while these days & twice I ran into Linda B. She told me how to write to you. You are in my prayers & will be praying for the folks you mention! Prayer is so important. Jesus is so good. Been studying about Praise. Ps 149:5 stood out today. Let the faithful rejoice that He honors them. Let them sing for joy as they lie on their beds. You must bring such sunshine there, you sure have in Franklin! Love you dearly, #
Hi Jayln,I hope you’re having a good time in Africa. I miss you
alot.
I hope you come home soon.
Were you afraid of the green snake? Did you see a two foot rat? you can email us at mkacaiata@aol.com.
from Joseph.
Hey Jayln, I have missed hearing from you, I am glad you are well. Yours letters are so beautiful, I look forward to your book. Take care and God bless.
Love, Jackie
JEW…….your wisdom exceeds your years. Roland read your e-mail and got “tearie-eyed”. Your notes to us could someday be a book. Know that I pray for you daily. God sure does love us. Love ya…….LB
Jayln,
When you come back, would you visit our church and talk to us about your trip to Africa? Would love to see you! Give our love to Danny, Chrissy, Joseph and Anna
Jayln,
We are so proud of you and what you are doing there. We are so greatful that you are allowing us to be a part of your life and the ministry you are doing thru your blog. You are an inspiration to me and to my children too. Every Sunday they come home and tell me the stories that Cody tells them in children’s church about what you are doing in Africa and how things are going there. They can’t wait to get hear about the things you experience and the people that you get to meet and minister to. Thank you so much for giving of yourself that way, we love and miss you and can’t wait to see you on the 27th. You are in our prayers!
I was wondering if you would be willing to do a question and answer session that I could post on my blog. My kids have asked me a million questions about your time in Africa…and i mostly ‘don’t know’.
JEW………I love reading your stories. You R so entertaining and descript. I saw your car on the road the other day being driven by Cory. I did a “double-take”. Betty Floyd says hi. Saw Linda Bradley in the store Sat. and she said she would write to you. Both send their love and prayers. Know that I pray for you daily. Love ya………LB
Hey Jayln - First of all, are you sure you’re old enough to go so far??;)Seems like it wasn’t that long ago you were feeding mealworms to your pet frog in your horsie bedroom! Lol! Time flies, but it is SO amazing to see the woman you’ve become and how God is using you to touch so many lives. I look forward to continuing to read about your time in Africa.
Dear,
jayln
hope your having fun with all the little boys and girls.I herd you got to pet a cheeta I bet that was asome.Remember one day those babys your taking care of will be thankful for you.
Hey Jayln,
I just read your “potty” experience, and I have to say “oh my!” What an adventure you are having. Mike & I miss you and keep you close. Take care and God bless you.
Hey Jayln! I pretty much messaged you back on facebook and came straight to this site haha. Im so glad God is working in your life in such a powerful way and so rapidly. I can see that you are learning what it means to truly rely on Jesus, not just believe in Him. It’s easy to get into a cycle of only believing and not relying here in America,even though the spiritual warfare is brutal. I will continue to pray for you and I hope God continues to reveal himself to you in such amazing and huge ways.
jumbo friends! that means hello its great to see all of your replies…it really means alot to me that you take the time to read all my babbling words here…love you all!
hey i miss you so much. cody let us hear that email u sent him lol. he showed us some pictures too. it doesnt matter if u have to sleep in the woods cuz God has filled hundreds of angels watching over u and they will not let anything happen to u. good luck at the orphanage it would be so fun to work in there. so is it fun so far i wish i wuz there it would be alot of fun working. i think its great that your working there and everyone in kids church misses u and want u to come home.
Hi Jayln, You do indeed have a way with words. It’s good to see your love for Jesus! You’ll have to ask your parents who I am (well, I think Cody remembers me, too) God bless you! I have several friends who have lived in Kenya, but seeing it through your eyes has been my favorite report of it.
I miss you and know God is doing AWESOME things!
Im still praying for you and wont stop i cant wait to hear/ read all about the adventures God is going to take you on.
LOVE YOU!

“YOU DIDN’T SAY GOODBYE!” (turns and walks away, hops on a flight and just leaves) Ha, ha! I don’t think I can make it any time soon. Take care of God’s children and show them that there WILL be relief through the power and mercy of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Assuredly!
I am so blessed to read your blog about the kids at the orphanage you’ve worked at while in Africa. I wish you could bring them all home and I could put them all in my little single wide trailer with the rest of us Lunsfords.
Hey Jay. Just read your blog (or, as Diane called it, your blob!!!). Glad you made it there okay. Sorry to hear about your lost luggage. Hope it’s there by now. Please keep us informed of your day-to-day life. It HAS to be more exciting than ours here. We love you and we’re praying for you. Judy & Jordan
Its good to read your blog and know that you are doing well. We have thought of you all the time and pray for you continually. I am so thrilled that you are touching and being touched by the precious people of Africa. May your light shine through so that God will be glorified and lifted up as you proclaim His name. I had no idea how much we depended on you around here until you were gone. But Kathy is catching on quickly and we are carrying on. Pray for us too. We need it. Lisa
Hi there, Hope you are doing well and enjoying your time there. How lucky they are to have you. Remember you are in our thoughts and prayers. Take care and God bless.
Hi Jayln,
Reading your blog made me want to be there with you so I could love on those little kids. You have a beautiful way with words; I could almost smell the smells of Africa. And I cried as I imagined those big bright eyes looking up and begging for attention. Give them hugs for me and tell them that we are praying for them. Maybe they won’t understand what you are saying, but something tells me they will. =)
Jayln,
Please take care and have fun. I know you are in God’s hands. I will look forward to reading your blog and having my “date” with Caleb. Mike and I love you!!!
Jayln,
This is day 4 of classes at DrakeSoftware. Is the material making sense? I hope all is going well.
Love ya……..Linda B
Hey you…..thanks for writing. This is my response to your 16 Aug. note. Hope I get to visit with you before you start with DrakeSoftware.
Love ya…..Linda Bodden
