interesting week

Hello Everyone!

I am about to get on a bus all the way to New Orleans for Fiji’s formal.  I’m really excited! It will be good to get out of Auburn after everything that has gone on this week. 

I think Bo did a great job of informing yall of everything. It is scary to think this happened in a parking lot right behind my dorm. The same parking lot that I sat in my car by myself for 20 minutes waiting on the security shuttle to pick me up the night before.  The latest update I have heard is that Lauren was not sexually assaulted and that they found a gas can on College Street that may be some evidence. They have not made any arrest in the case, but apparently they are “very close.” Who knows if that is true? 

There is going to be a memorial service for Lauren on Samford lawn Monday for all the students to attend. The school is also having a session with the dean Monday night for the students to voice their concerns on safety at Auburn.

 Throughout this whole thing I have realized to be very aware of my surroundings, but I have also realized I have a mighty God who is protecting me. My favorite verse has been very comforting this week. “Do not be afraid for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9

Continue to pray for the Burk family and Lauren’s friends! 

Love yall, Miss yall 

p.s- I left the sink running for about 30 minutes today. My bathroom was completely flooded and water was coming into my room. What a great brother I have, who came to my rescue and took all the wet towels and mats to be cleaned. Thanks again Bo!
