China Visitors

This past week we enjoyed a quick visit from a group of five young people from China. This time of year they get to take a month or so off for travel and we usually see a group or two in Cambodia.
We had connections with two of them. Heidi Hipp’s family attended church with us in Hot Springs Village back in the early 90’s I think. Her parents were missionaries in Tanzania Africa for several years and good friends of ours. Jessie Byrum was also with the group and a friend of our son Greg’s at Harding. Jessie is hard to miss as he is 6’10” tall and has bright red hair! He played basketball at Harding and is a delightful young man. They were joined by three other of their friends. And although we had no connection with them, they seemed like great young adults. These guys are real brave ones to move to China and teach English in a challenging environment. What great life experiences they will have to tell their grandkids about some day!
