Welcome Home

I'm so excited about living near and working with Brian and Victoria Rice and their family. The Rices really are family to me. We're going to have so many good times here in Mengzi.

When Katie and I arrived last Friday night (well, technically Saturday morning since it was almost 1:00 a.m.), we were each greeted by a supply of food, a huge bouquet of flowers, and a sweet note compliments of Victoria to say "Welcome Home." Victoria's thoughtfulness means so much. I've been making good use of the instant noodles, bread, peanut butter and jelly, instant coffee, oreos, and fruit she had waiting for me and now that the flowers have opened they smell amazing and look beautiful!
