Thank you, True North!

We left behind so many wonderful people when we came to China, and we were reminded recently about a group of them. We are so blessed by our Sunday friends in Maplewood!
Knowing how people overseas can crave words from old friends, they sent Christmas cards and wrote wonderful letters. I spent most of the first minutes after opening the box just reading those words of encouragement!

They also sent soup mixes (We already used the beef stew packet - delicious!), other food items, Christmas goodies, candies, and a White Elephant present that we are still puzzling over. Whom do we have to thank for all those facts about old-time baseball?
We are so grateful for your thinking of us. Whether you sent a package, wrote an email, commented on the blog, or not, we are acutely aware that we are loved and that you are thinking about us! Thank you, friends!

A special thank you to the True North-erners... You guys are great and are sorely missed!

Much love,
M+A
