imagine that the difference adds up quickly for a family of five!\u00a0 So you can be praying with us about that, as well as that we\u2019ll be able to figure out and have in order all doctor\u2019s letters, etc. that we need in order to be allowed back into the country.\u00a0 Likely we will need to observe a period of quarantine once we arrive back in Asia as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
