A Friend from Afar

In the ministry we are involved in we develop a lot of friendships with our students and staff. But after a couple of years our students move on and head to the mission field. We get new students in and once again start to establish new friendships. Our children experience the same cycle, with building friendships, and then those friends move to the mission field, and new ones will come. It is never easy to say good-bye to good friends. This past Saturday night Ruth had the joy of connecting again with one of those friends. Becky Richard's parents were on staff when we first arrived here. Becky and Ruth were in the 6th and 7th grade together here. After a couple of years the Lord opened the door for her and her family to return to Thailand. It was so much fun for Ruth & Becky to connect again after 2 1/2 years.
