Wow! April was quite a month! The students were going on break, and we had to renew our visas, so we thought we would do a bit of traveling. God was so good to us. He blessed us with a safe journey, amazing new friendships, and incredible hospitality. We were overwhelmed at the thought of including every wonderful experience in one blog post, so we created a brief list of favorite things for your reading pleasure:
