Wow, it's been quite a while since we have posted. Lots of exciting things are going on in our world since our trip from the U.S. and we are excited about this next year in China. As most of you already know we are expecting our second child in August of 2012 and we are all three thrilled. God has been so faithful and always seems to give us more than we ask for. We also just moved into a much bigger and nicer apartment. Our school provided us with a new three bedroom 2 bathroom on the 17th floor. We absolutely love it. I will post pictures soon of our new home. It is so convenient to our classrooms and is such a safe and peaceful place to live. It is still inside the same community we were living in, but we are in a newer building and moved much closer to our school. Grace LOVES the fact that most of her classmates live either in our building or in a building next to us. Speaking of our sweet Grace.. She just turned 4 and is blowing our minds each day with the amazing things she learns at school (both in english and chinese) and LOVES to talk about Jesus. When our friends come over she is so proud to show them the cross on our wall and tell them what it is all about. There is nothing more precious than that.
This semester we will be busy with teaching, tutoring and volunteering with the Baoan Orphanage. We are beyond grateful for our new home which allows us a more comfortable place to have friends old and new over for fellowship.
Thank you for all your prayers this past year!
God Bless,
Jessica, Jon and Grace
