Our exchange student

We just found out last week that they needed another host family for a 13 year old boy from Korea for 4 weeks. We jumped at the chance to have him. We were just praying and talking about having another college exchange student for the school year when we got the phone call for this (no kidding within 10 min). Valor is actually the host because he is closest in age and can relate more to him. Valor is sharing a room with him and he is the main communicator. This is a great opportunity for Valor to get the share the gospel and his love for Christ. Valor is very excited about it. We love having the students here and it is a great learning experience for us and the boys. Two years ago we had Mari from Japan and she was with us for almost a year. We still keep in contact with her. David is his American name Dong Huyn Lee is his Korean name. This is a Christian organization and on the American end the goal of it is to teach these kids about Christ trough everyday life. A majority of Koreans know nothing about Christ. On the Korean end they are coming over for education. They know they are being placed in American Christian homes. This is a great opportunity for us to minister, since we are not in a position in our lives to go anywhere as missionaries we can bring people here and show them Christ's love. We are so excited to have the opportunity to do this. We are having a great time showing him around Chico and the "American" lifestyle. Please Pray that we are able to share the gospel with him and that he is open to learning. The organization is also going to show the students the Jesus Film in Korean. So Pray Pray Pray please. They are hoping to make a difference in the kids so they can take it back to Korea and share with their family and friends.
Also my cousin Teresa and her two kids, Jacob and Madison, and my Grandma came to visit for a few days. Here are some pics of them and David. More pics to follow.
