Dear Friends,
While in detention in North Korea, isolated and scared, one of the things that gave me strength and sustained my faith was hearing about the groundswell of support for Euna and me. You were a part of this incredible movement and for that I will be forever thankful.
Through the letters that I was able to receive, I learned about the many beautiful vigils, the LauraAndEuna.com website, the petition, the Facebook group, and all the other grassroots efforts to bring us home. I am deeply humbled.
In times of extreme darkness and depression, I thought of all of the people, united together, sending us messages of love and hope. I envisioned the light of the candles at the vigils and it brightened my soul.
I would not be here today, home and free, re-united with my family (my sister is actually asleep on the couch right by my side), if not for the support from so many extraordinary people. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Words cannot adequately express my profound gratitude.

August 12th, 2009 6:09 pm ET Dear Laura (and Euna), When I heard of your release, I couldn’t stop from crying—crying tears of joy. You don’t know me and we’ll probably never meet, but when that moment came, it didn’t matter what else happened to me that day. I must have thanked God a thousand times! I’m so glad you and Euna are home safe and sound, back with your families. I prayed for both of you. We need to keep praying for the others. Thank you for your letter. Lilibeth |
