We said our final good-byes to family and thank God for our year together.

 

 

 

Winding up our time in the USA

Friends Since Childhood…the ICS Community comes together in the South

 Bethany and niece, Mari were bridesmaids in childhood friend, Shaina Harkins wedding to Will Gill in Mississippi and we rejoiced over the years of friendship that brought many of our International Community School students and teachers together to celebrate and support them as they began their life together.

 

Family in Thailand

What a joy to come home to Thailand with Bethany  and having Daniel, Sarah and Josiah there with Global Trek already doing ministry.  We were so blessed to have our sadness alleviated by anticipating seeing three of our kids and grandson in Bangkok.
