Our Life in the Spring

Wow!  We've had a busy spring so far.  Started with three weeks of travel to Thailand and Turkey for various meetings.  Along, the way, we got to visit with LOTS of co-workers and even celebrate Valentine's and both of our Birthdays together!  During the past 29 years that we've know each other, we've rarely had this opportunity (due to various obligations).  So, it was a REAL treat!

The trip to Istanbul was very exciting.  The culture, sites, sounds, smells, tastes, and feel of Central Asia are very different from our regular life and work.  It was also WONDERFUL to spend time with great friends and to hear how Father is at work with Chinese people in all parts of the world:  North America, South America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and all of Asia.

But, we are ALWAYS happy to be back on our little island.  The weather is great right now; we understand the language/culture; we get to spend time living and working with committed co-workers and nationals; and best of all, we have a group arriving from TENNESSEE on Friday to help us share HIStory of Easter in public schools for the next week!!!
