Loved this! I remember Yared the first time I met him at the airport in San Francisco preparing to fly across the ocean to Sydney with you. And now he's a man! So excited for him! I'd love to meet up if you are in the area this summer. We are now in Orem. I keep thinking I should message Ravi and invite him over but he probably would wonder why this strange lady is contacting him! Love and miss you and your wonderful family!

Yes, that looong flight! You were such a help and I'm so glad you came to Sydney.

I agree with Denise. This is so beautiful and I, too, love the cup tradition. Blessings and prayers for your son in Liberia.

Gretel - this was just so beautiful. I love the tradition of the cups. Your trust in god and in the resiliency of your children is also beautiful. Wishing all the best to your sweet missionary as he heads out on this wonderful assignment. It will be a blessing to all of you. ❤️ Denise
