Thank you, Emily!

I didn't want to write any further on this blog without thanking Mrs. Emily Richards, who is the reason for me beginning this blog in the first place.  So, thank you Emily for your urging and for your friendship.  I also believe that Emily is the reason, behind the reason, that God has put China and orphans on my heart in the first place!  You are a joy and an inspiration to me in so many ways.  I thank God every time I remember you in my prayers.
