We See The Sun Set as You Watch It Rise!

As we grew up it was often said that if you dig a hole deep enough you would come out in China. We did not dig a hole, and we are not in China, but we are in Asia, on the other side of the world from our family. Many days when we watch the sun set we have come to think of our family who are looking at the same sun shining on them as it rises in the morning skies.

Just as that thought makes us feel closer to home, we are grateful for modern technology that allows us to visit with family and friends easily, even thousands of miles apart. This morning as we were starting our day we received a FaceTime call from some of our family. It is a blessing to visit so easily.

We had our monthly Skype call with the Asia PEF team. We are able to come together from all over Asia as if we were in one room. As we talked with Samson in India, we learned of the extreme heat there that has taken its toll with over 1,400 deaths because of the temperatures up to 50 degrees Celsius (122 Fahrenheit).  During our call Samson's electricity went out for several minutes. (Please pray for Samson and all those suffering in the heat wave in India.) Our Skype meeting also included Mongolia, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Malaysia. Those from the Pakistan office were not available for our meeting today.  We are truly blessed to live in such a day as this.
