Everyone seems to have a poodle. It is definitely the most popular choice. It’s also popular for dogs to be clothed and primped to the max! This dog we snapped a picture of was the most outlandish we had seen until yesterday when I saw a poodle (of course) with LACE UP SHOES ON! Oh, […]
I’m nearly convinced that we should give up on trying to go to Yíjiā (IKEA – Swedish Furniture Store) here in our city. The first time we went as a family it took 2 hours to get there when it should’ve taken 30 mninutes, and it was packed full of people because it was a Saturday […]
Putting Colt in the local kindergarten was my biggest concern about moving overseas. I just wanted what would be best for him, and we had no idea what that was! So after much pr@yer and counsel, we had peace about starting him in the local school. The Father has really prepared him by giving him […]
We were off from language studies, and Colt was off from his school on New Years Day. Our tutor said only govt. workers would be off. So we decided to take a trip out into the city and let the kids play. I think all of East Asia was off work though because it was […]

When we arrived in October, everything was green. It was different from the wild, wonderful colors of the West Virginia hills where I grew up with all of their vibrant reds, oranges, yellows. . . As we entered December in Asia, I had decided the leaves just didn’t change here. Different tree species or whatever, […]
We are in a “landing city” for the maina purpose of learning language. This city has tons of resources and personnel to help us learn the language well and much more quickly, but it ALSO has about 14 million people. Whew. We have never lived in a place anywhere like CD. Pretty much everything […]
We saw some local children performing this minority dance at the holiday festival a few weeks ago. It is so neat! They did such a great job, and this is just a little snippet!
The red pandas were free to roam?! They WERE pretty cute 🙂 How they got out and in… Peacocks at the panda park?
We received this word from a friend – Psalm 50:23 “He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me, and prepares the way so that I may show him the salv@tion of the Father.” Let’s offer thanks for His salv@tion (completed work), for His provision (meeting all of our needs), for His resources (the workers He has […]
