We completed the reporting and returned home to Georgia on Monday, May 23rd. We are so thankful for a safe trip, our good health and the successful visit to all the congregations and individuals we wanted to see. We had wonderful hosts in Lafayette, TN and Mayfield, KY. They made us feel at home and we enjoyed beautiful and comfortable accommodations with the sponsors who gave us a place to stay. We were also blessed to be able to stay in one of the beautiful apartments they use for unwed mothers at Potter's Children's Home in Bowling Green, KY. We were there four days/nights. The trip was not terribly expensive because of these accommodations that saved us paying for about three weeks of hotel charges.
I left the house totally straight and clean when we began our trip north. It was an easy homecoming to unpack and wash clothing. But, our Save Asian Souls' computer work is behind due to lack of time to work while traveling, weak internet connections and the heavy workload of things we need to handle. It will take time for us to catch up again.
We expect the last three weeks of June to be busy as Philip, Wendy and Deborah Zheng will be coming to our home from Shanghai, China. They have been locked down in their apartment in Shanghai, China for about two months due to Covid. We have purchased their airline tickets and hope nothing will prevent them from coming to Atlanta on June 9th. Philip will be training with Ron as he will be joining the SAS team to take over some of the work and be prepared to help Ron. Ron is not retiring but he is training Philip so the work will continue on in years ahead as we become unable to do the work.
The last I heard, they plan to live in Houston, TX so they will be leaving here in a few weeks to find an apartment, purchase furniture, appliances and other household items so they can get settled before school starts. Deborah should be enrolled in school this fall semester.
Philip graduated from the Memphis School of Preaching a few years ago so they lived in Memphis for two years and all of them are fluent in English/
I will keep everyone updated concerning their arrival and our visit with them.
Thank you to all our friends and sponsors who keep up with our travels. We are happy to be back home safely for a while and we appreciate your encouragement and keeping in touch with us. Thank you for your prayers on our behalf.
