We did NOT run out of apple crisp or cider, which were a big hit to our friends that have never tried traditional American fall foods. I played the part of Squanto in a funny skit and we all shared what we were thankful to God for in our lives.

Michelle was so excited to see me again and share her news. I hadn’t seen her for a year and a half since I moved away from the Du. I was so happy to visit this last week and get to see her!

My heart has been awakened. A year ago, if someone would have looked me in the eye and told me that I would be packing my bags and moving to one of the largest cities in Asia, I would have rolled my eyes.

In case you’re wondering, I’m the rotten apple. Before I started to follow God wholeheartedly, I was headed for certain death…

Girls are drawn to and look up to her because she has THE LIFE: she owns her own apartment, cooks her own food, and most importantly, she’s married.
