{ engaged! }

I want to share a special news--Ammi and I got engaged last week!  We had the "official" engagement meeting as all of us--Ammi and me, my parents and her parents (and uncle)--met up in XN, and we had a wonderful time of fellowship and sharing, and planning the wedding logistics.  Thank Father that everything went smoothly and beautifully.  He is good to us!

I will post some photos/videos soon, along with my latest newsletter, after I get back to the States on 2/19.  The wedding will be in late April of this year.  Blessings and thanks to all of you who have support us over the years.

back in { cna }

Last week, I flew back to China after spending my Christmas holiday in LA with family.  It was good to have a little break in sunny Southern California after 2 weeks in Iceland, and now I am back in the cold of winter, in the below-freezing weather of SJZ.

I was very glad to see Ammi and be reunited with her again, and we were able to spend New Year's Eve in BJ, celebrating the arrival of 2012.  May this year be a glorious one in the Lord.  Amen!

I will be in China until mid-February, and there are much to do while I am here.  I will seek to post weekly updates here, so check back for the latest news.  Blessings to you in this new year.

wonderful { snowy } iceland

I have been here in Iceland for 2 weeks now, leading worship on my electric violin (and playing guitar and singing as well) in various churches and ministries.  It has been a great time.  I have also been enjoying the snowy weather and condition during this time of the year here.  I will only have 2 more days before flying back to Seattle.  Not sure when I would be able to come back in the future, but I would definitely want to come back in the summer sometimes to explore more of the spectacular scenery and wilderness of Iceland.

Check out the video below (which I filmed with my iPod Touch) of a beautiful winter drive near the mountains.

 

back in { us }

I've just returned to the US after 1.5 months in China.  It is nice to be back in warm, sunny Southern California after living in a cold place with no heat!  God is good.  Aside from the freezing temperatures, I had an amazing time in SJZ with Ammi, and our relationship is progressing beautifully.  Praise the Lord!

I will fly back to China after Christmas, to be with Ammi again, and to minister in various places around that country.  But before that, I will be heading to Iceland for a short ministry trip.  I am planning to send out an official newsletter soon.

Please keep me in your prayers, for God to strengthen me as I close out this year strong in the Lord, for all the necessary funds to be supplied for these kingdom works, and for His grace and favor, and His hand of protection and guidance, to be upon my life.

Thanks and God bless!
