Language Study in a Pandemic?

Language Study in a Pandemic?

  It’s amazing how 7 weeks can feel like a lifetime and just a few days both at the same time.  A lot has happened in our new world here and we have seen how God has been gracious in it all.  We are so thankful for your prayers. “We couldn’t be here without you” […]
