Here are some reads from the interwebs:
1. Must READ for Missionary hosts and future short-term mission trippers!
2. Yes please! The problem of pain is so big. We need art. We need to emotionally work things out.
3. Getting to the root of the matter and focusing on what matters in parenting/disciplining.
4. A look at "Tent-making" missionaries.
5. Statistics to kinda-sorta maybe understand global poverty a little better. AKA realizing that Americans got it good.
I am currently having many controversial thoughts about voting and police brutality. Yes. Eventually, I hope to be able to blog about it. We had a wonderful week, celebrating and sharing the gospel with more children for Children's Day (actual Children's Day is October 12, so next week is the bulk of our celebrating). Lots of pictures on Facebook, and videos to come!
