Expressive
Emmaus wears his heart on his face. You never have to wonder how he is feeling… he shows you every fleeting thought and emotion with his face. He is so incredibly expressive.

Back in September, when we were in Guinea, we had a nasty bout of malaria. Canaan, Emmaus and Debra… all down and out with it. It was a tough and trying time. We had only been in Guinea for 5 weeks and didn’t feel very settled yet. After that, we talked a lot with our [...]

We had the opportunity to help hand out Operation Christmas Child gifts last week. How amazing was it being on this end of things for a change. The kids were so excited.
