I never thought I’d love you this much. Rural village: They smiled and laughed. Kings and queens. Little warriors. The faces of your people will forever be etched in my mind.

Hongyan won’t be joining us in remembering Jesus this Easter. Disclaimer: This does not negate anything that Jesus Christ has done. She’s simply not able to join us in celebration this year.
