We’d been in China 18 months almost exactly to the day when we flew home to CT and MA on May 25th. Our three months in the US were packed with reunions with old friends, precious family time, reconnecting with many who make it possible for us to be here, and fun! There were challenges too – living out of suitcases, health issues, reverse culture-shock, family issues (and a broken computer!). But with our Father’s grace and faithfulness and the love of our friends and family, we had a blessed summer.
