Coming home

Hello all. Just writing to tell you all that I am on my way home. In taiwan hanging out cause of a 6 hour layover. Everyone is a little on edge just with leaving the kids & seeing family and all. Pray that things end well & we have a safe trip. Should be home sometime saturday hopefully.
Last night it was really hard to leave the kids because I had this little girl that always CLUNG to me. Chanaporn (the little Thai girl) and I taught the kids how to make bracelets from the supplies that Kandice gave me. They loved it. I can't wait to get more supplies & send them so they can make bracelets & what not. To see there faces last night as they ate ice cream sandwiches made out of icecream & rolls & just had pure joy has been great. I would not change this summer for anything.
Pray that things with Asia's Hope would go well. They have been growing so much. They also are trying to grow mulberry trees at the widows farm. This will provide silk worms to make silk & bark to make paper. If they get enough money they would like to build an orphanage up there so the widows working up there can see their kids.
Can't wait to see everyone & tell stories. Keep praying for Asia's Hope, the kids, the workers/parents, interns, directors & anyone else involved. Our leaders, Adam & Jess, along with Renae, are staying in Cambodia & Thailand for another month. Keep praying for them as well.

oh & I swam in a waterfall yesterday. One of the most beautuful, fun things that we did :)

  1. Rissa,

    It is soooo good to hear from you. We can't wait to see you and hear about your many experiences. It is cool that you got to swim in a waterfall. This past week it would have been nice to have a waterfall to cool off in! I love the fact you were able to use the supplies Kandice supplied. Saw a picture of you mixing concrete for the new home. Dad might put you to work on making something at home! Love you bunches and looking forward to seeing you!
