I am currently emailing from the post office across the street from my new apartment! [Gwangju map wiki] And new it is! Nothing but dishes and furniture when we moved in.

Fasting isn’t just starving though, we fast with a purpose in mind: a question or concern that we have for Heavenly Father. Our dedication to the fast and even our donation to help others shows Heavenly Father our humility and desire. I love fasting! (more…)
