Seeing Growth

The past two weeks have been a real treat. We got a chance to spend time with old friends. They spoiled us with their awesome cooking and hospitality. It was a great time of reconnecting and seeing the work at hand. We really respect them in how they live out their life. We learned a lot from them through the example of their marriage and how they're raising their son.





This post is called "Seeing Growth" for many reasons:

1) P came here when the work first started and J came the year after. Many years have passed since then and we got to see how dad's been working and the amazing fruit that has come about. We were overjoyed to see the blessings! We got a chance to meet with some people and also do some teaching.

2) There was a new addition to their family! The last time we saw him he was only a few days old and now he's over 4 months. He is by far the cutest boy!!

3) Personal Growth- "It is better to have travelled one thousand miles than to have read one thousand books."-a Chinese proverb?

You can only get so far in your walk by just reading. I don't think dad wants us to only read about him and the life he wants for us. But we need to mature past just knowing what we should do and actually begin living it out. Our lives can sometimes be so busy that we fill our time with many unnecessary things instead of with the right things. We have been learning to take daily steps of f_ _ t h in order to experience him daily. We are really glad in our choice to come out here.

Overall, it was really tough leaving our friends but we are really happy that we got a chance to spend precious time with them!
