A lot has happened since the new year began. Our wonderful trip home over the holidays was an AMAZING whirlwind of a time, but even now after having been home for nearly 2 months we feel like we are still trying to get back on the saddle that is life and ministry here in Thailand. [...]
I realize it has once again been multiple months since I’ve posted here. But at least this time I have good reason! Back in December we took our (semi) secretive trip home to the States. This was the first time in a year and a half that we had been home…. …and it was amazing! [...]
