Foreign Exchange

Well, he is here! Our exchange student from Thailand made it Friday. He is very soft spoken (for now), and seems to be a good kid. It has been such a busy weekend that until now, I haven't really thought of how strange we must be to him! He started 11th grade at KHS today, and I have worried all day about him! He will be fine, I know, but that motherly instict has kicked in. This is someonelse's child. He is halfway around the world! I can't imagine what my parents would have felt had I left for a year's worth of education in a foreign land! I am so happy he is here. What an experience for Robert, our families, and the kids at church! And really, what a mission field this could be. In our own home. God is amazing in the ways that he works. In the ways that he created us all so different in appearance, but He desires to love each of us the same! What an awesome God we serve!
