Home

Well, we are back in Hangzhou. I plan on blogging about our trip because we have done SO MUCH!! We have been gone for a month and a half. I've never been gone from anything that long. Well, except for being in China and all. :) Ok, I can say this...I've never lived out of a backpack that long! So, as a result, I have never felt so happy to come back home. I have had a couple of different places to call home, however monetary they are...so people in America, try not to take it personally when I refer to Hangzhou as home. :) It was nice to come back to familiar Hangzhou, where I know what I am doing, and I know more people than the people I am traveling with.

During our travels, we were at a conference which guided our thoughts to Kingdom work. Coming home to Hangzhou helped me draw a parallel to the Kingdom. It helps me to be away from my family in America when I think about going Home and what really matters in this life. Our Father told us to live a sacrificial life. No if's and's or but's. Do it. Yes, easier said than done, but what other reason are we on this earth than to do what He tells us to do. I wish I could articulate exactly what I want to say, but I just can't. Let me encourage all of you to live a life of purpose. I don't want to ramble, so I will just leave it at that! Thanks for reading, don't forget to think of me in China and I love you all!

P.S. I will get pictures up soon!

So Sorry!

Hello all! I have not blogged in like a month! And I hate that, because we have done so many things since we have been gone. I don't have much time to blog, but this is just a quick run-down of the cities we have been! Hanoi, Viet Nam, Hoian, VN, NhaTrang, VN, Muine, VN (where the beach is!!) We are in Cambodia now and the first city we went to was PhnamPenh, and I am writing to you from SienReap. I think I got the spelling right on all those. We have seen many thins and one blog will not suffice, so it will have to wait until later my friends! While in PhnamPen we got to meet up with some family there and it was so rewarding! They took us into their home like family should. It was great to get to know them! Anyway, we are leaving early in the morning for Thailand. We should be there for 6 days, and then we leave on the 11th for Beijing! Hopefully I will get to see The Wall on my birthday! We'll see how it goes. I don't know when I will be able to have enough time to blog next, so this is it for now my friends! Thanks for reading. Don't forget to think about me and I love you all!
