The Return of Abbi

My world traveling daughter has returned.

Well, ok. That was a slight exaggeration. Maybe I should say my Asia traveling daughter has returned. The point being, she is safe and sound.

I want to say a heart felt thank you to all our family, friends, acquaintances, and perhaps strangers for remembering her and the rest of the Malaybalay mission team in their prayers. 

While Abbi was not in possession of a image capturing device (ie- camera, ipod, cell phone), I have managed to locate a few pictures of her recent experiences.

When asked about her favorite part of the trip, Abbi's response came quickly.

The children.

From the above pictures, it is rather apparent one little girl bonded well. Abbi shared the kids are   hungry for attention and affection. Naturally, when the team showed up willing and able to spend time and love, the children just soaked it up.

I am so grateful for the experiences and life lessons Abbi, and her brothers are experiencing as missionary kids. I know many people questioned our sanity when Carl and I said yes to moving to Taiwan. I never doubted God had a plan, not just for our future, but also for each of our precious offspring. 

Sometimes all we need to do is say yes.

And let God do the rest.
