I have been enjoying my home leave so much. After leaving East Africa, I went to Amsterdam as I had always dreamed to see the Ten Boom home. This devout Christian family helped hide many Jewish people during WWII and her books are so inspiring to read about her commitment and faith in Jesus Christ. Along with visiting the Ten Boom home, I also went to the Anne Frank House, Rijksmuseum, and the Van Gogh museum. Then I headed to the US for a quick visit to a small church in Texas that some dear friends lead, and then to St. Louis. I was blessed to be able to travel to Kiawah Island, South Carolina with my parents, one nephew, and three friends. Relaxing, bike riding, eating good food, and enjoying the beach was amazing.
