长春！(Changchun!)

Last Month's Quiz:  We live on the 8th floor.

"Would you be willing to come and teach a suicide prevention seminar?"  This email from a local leader prompted Todd to make a quick trip to Changchun.
Changchun feels like home to us!  The weather, accents, streets and much more give us the feeling of returning to a place we love.  Still, Todd encountered many struggling people upon his return.  Mental illness, abuse, divorce, and family struggles were some of the issues Todd discovered during his week there.

 But there was also good news as well! 

 The seminar went well, and they repeatedly ask Todd to teach another class as soon as possible.

Our friend John's daughter is doing well in Collage.

Lee has been able to hold a job for the past few months.  He is presently working construction and excited to earn a pretty good salary.

Todd was able to spend some time with Ben and his brother over lunch.

Maria is still struggling with health issues (from the bus accident last Spring).  Please continue to remember her dizziness, blurred vision and weakness.

Please remember the faces you see in each of these photos.

Please lift up the clinic as they begin several new programs.

Please take a look at this recent video.  Our family loves to eat hand pulled noodles.  

Haley and her good friend Corrie helped me make this video to give you an introduction to some of our favorite foods.
