Recently I had a meeting with two of my friends who are in the family. I’ve been taking them through some basic teachings about Father, and the latest was on the topic of dunking. These girls absolutely amaze me! I asked them beforehand what they thought the purpose of dunking was. My one friend Charlotte [...]
Eight Weeks! Time is coming close. I only have eight weeks left in this country! I get all sorts of emotions when I think about this. I’m obviously excited to come home and see all of my family and friends. I also get sad because I will miss most of my Asian friends. I have [...]
“Oh, now I understand!” Ellen exclaimed. I could almost see the clouds lifting off her mind. I was relieved to find a solution to the language barrier. I brought my friend Lindsay along to help teach Ellen, Diana, and Michelle, three girls who had recently joined the family. Their English was…well…not perfect! Even though Ellei [...]
I laid down after the day bone tired but completely content. There was something sweet about drifting off surrounded by those I love. Jane and Sarah were resting in one bed. Debra and I in another.

“Let us strip off every weight that slows us down…” Hebrews 12:1 I have to start preparing for my return home. I still have about a month and half left, but I must begin the process of deciding what things to keep, to trash, or to give away. The challenge is deciding what things are [...]
It has taken me a while to get back into the swing of things since I have been back from our retreat. It has been just this week that I have actually started making my schedule for the next few months. Looking back at the past few months has been a blur in some cases [...]
It was time for our Saturday Church with our new Christian friends! I have only been apart of two since I have been back to the city, but my team has had about seven altogether. What my team and I usually do during our Church is we will spend some time catching up with our [...]
