Which country has the most pyramids?

The answer to this fun fact is at the end of the blog post!

The sunset behind our cabin at staff retreat this year. It was a great time to come together after a hectic summer and recenter ourselves to prepare for the new school year! It was also our first time at Riverbend Retreat Center in Glenrose, TX. We made the decision to have our Winter Retreat this coming January at this new camp so it was a great preview for what's to come and what to expect!

During one of our days at staff retreat, a storm rolled through and cut the electricity for several hours. The rooms were all dark so we brought some tables outside and set up a Mahjong parlor. All three tables are playing a game of Mahjong!

The dream team! So excited to serve with these pastors on their campuses this school year.

Stephanie bought tickets to the Seahawks vs. Cowboys preseason game (the tickets were only like $5 in the nosebleeds)! It was my first time at a professional game and it was cool being able to see some of my favorite players (and coach) in person, even if they were like little ants. Towards the end of the game, I walked down to the field level seats and snapped some pictures while standing intrusively in the aisle. Even if we only beat the Broncos this season, I will still count it as a successful season. Go Hawks!

Why are bananas curved in shape?

My mom celebrated her birthday this month and we all got on a video chat! (Peep the Zoom call in the corner.) My niece loves to clap with other people and so she was having a grand time. You'll have to go back (quite) a few blog posts to find when I first got my expander put in... who knew it would take this long for me to get my braces off?? Some friends told me that the braces were a part of my identity, so without them, what am I?! But seriously, eating is SO EASY again. Earlier this month, I got to go on a short trip to Boston with Steph and another couple. It was my first time (that I can remember) going to the East Coast. Being someone who grew up on the West Coast (and even now in Dallas), there has never been a rich history to the places I've been. But it was incredible getting to see the sights and walk The Freedom Trail. Going into Paul Revere's house definitely brought out the kid in me who loved him growing up, simply because we had the same name. Anyways, this ...

November 2023

Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope y'all had a wonderful week and got to eat yummy food! :-) It's been a crazy month!! Our church had our annual fundraiser for the kids' ministry. We flew in Iain Provan for a weekend to speak at a joint-church service and Pizza Theology. I got to see a few movies—something that I've not done in a little while. Birthdays, parties, funerals, dinners. And today is Giving Tuesday! (And the month is still not done yet!) If you haven't heard, FOCUS has an annual fundraiser called Keep FOCUS Growing. A generous subset of our supporters has pledged to match over $55,000 in donations that come in during this fundraiser campaign which officially ends today! If you haven't yet, would you consider donating? To learn more and to donate, visit anyfocus.org/kfg ! We will also be posting updates on our Facebook page today. For a taste of what God is doing on our college campuses, read through this short testimony from Josh at UTA that was posted yest...

September 2024

It was my grandpa's 90th birthday and so we all surprised him by visiting Taiwan. The last time we all came back as a family to Taiwan was for his 70th birthday, 20 years ago. Here is a picture of all of us, including my cousins, and our significant others, and children (if applicable). I am so thankful for the opportunity to go back and spend time with my family! Here's the most readily available picture I could find of us, probably around 20 years ago, in my grandparent's house. The angle of the picture is close to the same, the flooring is the same. Not much has changed.
