Coming home...
Hong Kong has definitely beome our home. It's been a very challenging place to serve in ministry but it is the place we're called to and we don't plan on leaving anytime soon. God continues to teach us new things and increase our passion for the people we have the privilege of serving. We hung out with a group of our students last night and had such a great time. It was so fun to be with them in their element and have them invite us into their world. What a blessing!
On another note, I am also going to get to go back to the states for a few days. Melissa and Isabella are headed back to spend some time in Minnesota, Ohio and Pennsylvania for about a month. To try to help out, I am flying back to Minnesota with them for about 4 days and will then head back to HK. I'm excited to be on American soil again and very excited to see our church family. I hope to be able to be an encouragement and support to the people of Nowthen. It will be nice to be home for a little while. If you think about please pray for us as we travel back. I will be in MN from Feb 8-13. It will be a quick trip, and a very full one I'm sure. Please pray that Melissa and I will be able to serve and encourage our church families in ways that go beyond words.
Well, it's Chinese New Year tomorrow. Bring on the year of the Dog. I don't know totally what that means and am anxious to learn. I love learning about the culture here. It's an incredible place. Over the next few weeks I'm going to try to share a few more of my observations about life and ministry here. I haven't wanted to say much until we'd lived here at least 6 months because there is so much to learn and I know so little. That's what I love about being here, or being alive for that matter; we get to be learners. I love that about life.
