Grace sent some pictures from the Bible story, though she apologized for forgetting to take a group photo. She suggests waiting to take the official 5th-year photo until we return—what a nice idea!

Fifth Anniversary
I haven’t posted for months because we’ve been in the US for months. Still in the US, but we enjoyed a video Skype call with Merciful Love last Sunday for their 5th anniversary. So good to see all their faces! Things have been going well. Grace Tung has added some “Praise Aerobics” to the roster of activities. She’s also begun a weekly Bible study with two moms (one a believer, one not yet) on Thursday mornings. The second mom also brings her 30-something daughter who is not actually mentally handicapped, but has some issues that make her fit in well. The daughter has professed faith in Christ and from what we hear she has shown great improvements in her ability to interact with others. We heard that her brother—whom we’ve never met—attended the 5th anniversary Sunday! I can only imagine that is because he has been impressed by the changes in Kam Ip’s life. That is so exciting! I can hardly wait to get back (two more months yet)!
