Goodbye to China #7

My sweet friend Karen hosted a goodbye party for me 2 weeks ago. There are all different combinations represented here--some of these women I have known well for a long time; well for a short time; from a distance... different cities, different countries, etc... It was such a wonderful connection time of sharing funny stories, words of encouragement and prayers, laughter and tears. I felt so showered & blessed by each friend who came, and there are so many others who have been part of our China journey who I would have loved to join us!
