Wow... today was a great day. We got up and drove to Countryside Christian Church in Kirksville. It was a special day there as Jon & Amy Ralls and Chad & Alicia Edwards families were both presenting their work among the Chinese in Taiwan. The Ralls were challenging more to pick up the mantle in their stead as they have returned to the USA for some family medical reasons and are now working at CMSU in Warrensburg at the Campus House there. The Edwards were showing how far the church in Taipei has come and what the future is holding.
It was a very emotional time for them as they had built a very strong relationship during the past two years, and an emotional time for us as well as so many memories flooded through our minds today. The boys so enjoyed playing with their friends 'from Taiwan'. Eleven kids altogether as Keevin & Stephanie McGlumphry were also there as they continue to work with the International Students at TSU in Kirksville. It was indeed a good day.
Renae Sheldon sent some new pictures of Raena now that Dezi and Raena are in Taipei staying with her (at the Edwards apartment which is right below where we used to live, so it was much like going 'home' for Dezi). Thursday morning, at 9:58am, Dezi and Raena will be arriving in St. Louis!!! Woot!
