It's good to be home at last! So wonderful to see all the kids and parents this past Sunday. Kevin and the Leis were in charge. They did the last of the parables unit and then had a welcome-back potluck for us.

Kevin can't remember everything exactly—I know how that goes!
This past Sunday, the 6th, was his last Sunday with us. We will all miss him! I don't know how things could have hung together while we were on home assignment without him. We wish him the very best as he goes on to study at Macau Bible Institute this fall, and continues to seek God's will for his future.
Sad things as we start our new term with MLFF is that two of our kids' paid caregivers lost their employment visas in the past month. One of them had been with her charge for the whole ten years of his life. And if it weren't bad enough that he has lost this secure presence in his life for reasons he probably doesn't understand, his new caregiver is a Filipina who speaks very little Cantonese! So communication is an issue. As it is for the other boy's new caregiver, who speaks only Mandarin. We're glad to see that both boys are still coming, and we even met their mothers for the first time this week as they are helping ease the transition. That was good.
Well, I will get this posted, and starting this Sunday I will start giving more detail. Even if no one is reading this besides myself!
