Fairwell Party

While we were there for a month, many short term teams stopped by. Usually they stayed for only 3-4 days. As each group leaves, they perform songs and dances for them. We've been the longest visitors ever so on our last day, they surprised us with a "fairwell party"! They performed songs, dances, a fashion show and funny skits. Some of the skits were even in English and were stories about how we met and our future. We were so impressed and felt so loved!


We didn't know it was possible to grow so close to 30+ people in a month, but we did! It was such a hard goodbye. There were many tears shed from us(well, J) and the kids. But we were so happy that our Dad gave us this opportunity to be with such a special group of people. Even though we were there to teach them, we felt like we've learned even more from them. We can't wait to see how Dad uses them in the future!

They really want us to come back and visit. If we can, we definitely want to and next time we want to bring some of you. Want to come with us?!?!
