Here are a few of the things that we will miss when we return to China this week:
Although it can get quite cold in our city, we don’t have central heating or air conditioning systems. (But we do have long underwear!)
We have really enjoyed using a car in America, even when we have to scrape off the snow. Although many people in China are buying cars, we usually ride the bus or taxi, limiting our shopping trips to whatever the two of us can manually carry.
We have also enjoyed the small kitchen in our US apartment. We will miss the refrigerator INSIDE the kitchen, a full-sized oven, a LARGE coffee maker, and our favorite appliance – a dishwasher!
Of course, we will miss our kids and grandkids most of all. We have truly been blessed to spend time together over the past few months.
Y’all are so blessed by having been able to spend such precious time with your family while here. We will remember you to our Father as you leave and as you travel so far. You are so flexible and adaptable in how you have adjusted to the different cultural changes over there. We admire that so much. Thanks for keeping us posted on what’s happening with y’all. Love the pics. 🙂 In Him, Karen (and John)
We love the great family photo! Elijah’s smile is so cute!!
