See you in Heaven, Eisabeth Elliot

Stranded at SFO because my flight to LAX got delayed (what's new for Southwest?). Visited my favorite website only to discover the sad-yet-joyful-at-the-same-time news that Elisabeth Elliot passed away yesterday morning. John Piper writes a good tribute to her in this post: http://www.desiringgod.org/articles/peaches-in-paradise

I own Shadow of the Almighty and Passion and Purity, though have yet to finish reading through them both. I remember I was in the middle of Passion and Purity during my first year of nursing school. It was April 2012, right around the time that a particular classmate took interest in me... Seems like ages ago.
