Christmas morning was alive! My team and I were rushing around to make sure everything was clean and that breakfast was ready on time.
It was 10 in the morning when the other team finally walked through our door with as many bags as they could possibly carry up our seven flights of stairs. [...]
Asian people love to eat soup. They eat it often. I like soup too- soups with big chunks of meat & vegetables, creamy soups, soups with lots of cheese. Mmmm…cheese.

Our biggest family party yet – eight girls finally available at the same time! But nothing went as planned. The games took too long, the homemade cookies tasted terrible, and we stumbled awkwardly through the local worship songs.
But God's presence was there! It came time for me to share, but it was evident the party [...]

“Lola”, my American friend, is visiting Rosey and I for the next couple of weeks. Recently I decided to take her with me when I went to visit a few of my friends at our university campus. Their department was having a huge Christmas/New Year’s performance, and they got us tickets to go. [...]
