friends near and far.

These guys were in SC for a conference last week and drove to Columbia to see us!

We became friends with both of them in South Asia — Jonathan and his family are still living there and John is in the States for grad school. It makes me so happy whenever we get to see our South Asia friends, but also sad. We miss them all very much.

It feels strange that just over a week away is our three-year anniversary of moving to that big, busy, loud, dirty, colorful city. David and I sometimes joke that we’ve aged ten years in these past three. I’ll always count our life there as a gift — even the hard parts. And I’m so very grateful for the friendships that still bless us today.
