The Kids are doing GREAT!

While we were in the States we always were asked, "How do your kids like living overseas?" We can honestly say that they love it and adjust very well to different settings. Many times we feel like they are "missing out" on things like a yard, all friends speaking English, more time with grandparents and Target(oh, that's mine..sorry!:) But really, they aren't "missing out"...they are gaining in so many ways and we feel so blessed that we have the opportunity to show them "life outside of our own little world." Their eyes are opened to how people hurt, how people live in darkness, the hopelessness of those without The ANSWER, and how serving others brings HIM glory! Of course we would love a yard, love to have grandparents around at all times, love Target...but those are very small sacrifices for living out obedience.

Here are a few recent happy faces...
