Events, vacations, birthdays, testimonies, celebrations; anything you can think of that a family has done together.
What a privilege to witness the kindness of the Taiwanese people. Before camps start for the summer, they held an official Farewell Party for us and two of the teachers who were retiring. Last week was a big week. At different times it was good to take time to share a meal and say good-bye […]
Lives are changed one decision at a time. Small decisions set the pattern for all decisions.
