A couple of weeks ago I was eating Chinese food with my sister. Of course there were fortune cookies involved. Truth be told, I actually think fortune cookies taste pretty awful, kind of like those waffle cones that fancy ice cream is served in. I can't waste food, so I ate it anyway. The "fortune" inside said, "You will be visited by a dear friend from afar." Conveniently, it just so happened to be the Christmas season. The chances of friends visiting "from afar" had just increased exponentially.
As I reflect on my last several weeks, I am blessed to have such wonderful friends from both near and far.
Carlos and Carrie, friends and missionaries from Mexico City, came to visit us in Seattle for two weeks in December. We had a great time full of exploring the Pacific Northwest, fellowship and of course food. We were able to have a reunion of previous "Mexico Goers" which proved to be a wonderful time. It was pretty amazing to see how our work with Carlos and Carrie in Mexico City has grown and how it has positively impacted so many people. Yay for "sappy teacher moments!"
