Hi everyone! We hope you all are having a festive holiday season. Here are a few annotated pictures from our life in Seoul during the past three months.

The changing of the guard at Gyeongbokgung PalaceSay hi to Gomi. We had Gomi for three weeks and the girls loved him, but our neighbors didn’t. We received a couple of sticky notes on our door complaining about Gomi’s barking. And then we received a letter from management telling us that we had to take the dog with us whenever we went out. It was a sad day, but we said goodbye to Gomi and gave him back to his previous owners who found a nice new home for him right away.Olivia selling her homemade gingerbread cookies at class market day.Talia in her second grade Christmas concertGeetha made a few Christmas cookies.

After graduating from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, I served as a high school Bible teacher in Asia. I enjoy traveling, writing, and playing the drums. My latest book focuses on Paul’s work as a tentmaker and what it means for today.

Miss you guys! Thank you for the update. Love to see your smiling and beautiful faces. The boys were just saying the other day that they hope you come back soon. We do, too! Lots of love to you!
Merry Christmas to you guys. Everyone looks healthy and happy. Praying God’s richest blessings to you all. Wish you were here but I am so glad you are serving and doing what God has called you to do regardless of the distance. Sometimes serving isn’t always easy especially when the sacrifice is so costly. May your hearts be filled with His precious love and all the gaps removed because of his great love for you.
