| A get together with friends |
It has been really nice having our son home!
The whole house seemed to have come alive with him around!
 |
| Nanking Road, Shanghai, China |
J. introduced to us the cute little gadgets he brought back from Asia for us and his young cousins.
 |
| J. in Shanghai, China |
He is happy, lively and keeps sharing with us about his teaching life in Asia enthusiastically.
 |
| A traditional Miao minority house |
Before coming back to Canada, he visited China recently and recounted his experience positively.
 |
| Rice Terrace, Guilin Region |
J.'s visits included a number of famous sites in China, such as Shanghai, southern China including the Rice Terrace in Guilin.
 |
| J. and the Miao people, Guilin, China |
J. has always been interested in different cultural and minority groups.
This time he visited the Miao minority group in the rice terrace region
 |
| Guilin, China |
He said the mountain scenery in the Guilin area was breathtaking!
 |
| Neighbour and friends came to visit J. in Toronto |

We hosted a couple of dinners for the neighbours and young people to get together.
J.'s cousins, Jordon, Melody and Monica both came after work to see him.
Some of J.'s friends travelled a good distance to come and visit him.

| J. opening his Christmas presents at home |
We tried to do things together and enjoy each other's company.
These moments of the family being together are precious. I have a feeling that it will be a little while before he comes back to Canada again as our son keeps telling us how much he enjoys living in Asia.
On the day he left for Asia, we prayed, thanked God, and shared a bible passage with him.
Before he left the house, J. opened his Christmas presents. We spent the evening watching a show by Shun Yun at the Song Centre. We all enjoyed the show, especially J, who has shown a great interest in Chinese cultures since his traveled there.

| A traditional house in Guilin area |
We took him to the airport and sent him off. I was filled with emotions and sad to see him go.
I know as parents we need to release our grown children. I cried a little. J. asked us to pray with him before he went inside the terminal.
We prayed and asked for God's blessings and guidance for our son!
 |
| J. has fallen in love with Asia, especially China |
All the best to you, son, and may God protect you, guide you and light your way in Asia, the place where you have fallen in love with and welcomes you!

Missing our son already!
