The greatest of these is love

L-R: Sarah Tian, Todd Wu, Cecely, Phoebe, Jason, Lily (Mrs. Wu) & Lydia Wu
While we were in Wuhan right after the Chinese New Year, we were able to spend quite a lot of time with our sister Sarah. We got sick with a bad stomach virus right after arriving in Wuhan, and Sarah was the first to offer help, bring rice porridge, which is the Chinese version of eating saltine crackers and drinking Gatorade. She tried each day to take great care of us, and when we all got well, we went to her home for dinner and dessert. We were able to meet her husband and her brother for the first time, and spend more time with Todd, Lily, and Lydia. We had a wonderful night, enjoying the happiness and joy of these friends that we baptized over 10 years ago! We were really touched by the fact that Sarah has First Corinthians chapter 13 at the entryway of her home! Her faith is such a foundation of her whole life, thank God.

  2. A trip back to see old friends is such a treat. Glad your virus was a quick one. Sarah's door is such a testimony!
