Three months in review...

These past few months have been a blessing - full of visitors, retreats, excitement, new friends, ways he has worked in amazing ways. My home fellowship is moving to a new building soon--- the healing home is as well - - both are bursting at the seems. He's doing a great work here! Some things are too great to put into words... hopefully you'll get a taste of the fun life has been! :)

Just 6 more weeks, and then home for the summer! Can't wait to have a break, and also super excited about my job for next year here.

My small group at an Experience retreat - they'll be 9th graders next year - can't believe it!
street food - mmhh.....
and she met the love of my life, danny... :)

She got to meet baby micah!! :) He even stuck his tongue out for her! :)


Rachael with my small group gals!!! :)


We got to meet a friend that a couple in Rachael's fellowship met on a plane flight and kept in contact with; since this dinner meeting, Chris has been to my fellowship and has become a good friend of mine; He works in amazing ways!

Lounging on the beach in Shanghai -- wink, wink...

Crazy hair day, duh... :) It was the best - but i can't take credit - it was all Rachael's work of art.


Twins day at school! :)


I convinced another friend to join the ranks - Kasandra got her nose pierced! :) She was very excited - as i told her this was one of the top 3 best decisions she may make in her life...


Next visitor which brought a SUITCASE AND BOX full of goodies, can we say christmas! :)


Mom and my students :) they fell in love with her, and were very excited when she surprised them on monday morning and popped in for a bit before she left on her flight.


My class designed the quilt below that my mom made, and they also raised money for 3 play matts, a wardrobe, and clothing boxes the home needed. We went last weekend to deliver the quilt, and the kids got to play with the babies. It was a very special time.



Wesley holding Joy - he was a natural with the babies! :)



Mom and Baby Micah having bonding time :) Please be praying for him - he went into the hospital yesterday and is sick; pray for God's hand of healing to touch his little body!
