For the past 3.5 years we have been on the mission field in the most expensive city that lies in the middle of the most expensive country in the world. Now, that seems not only not smart but actually very stupid when you rely on financial support from the outside and mostly from people in…

This picture perfectly depicts my two mini-mes. One lives her life perfectly by the book. She’s a little Swiss engineer in the making. Everything in her mind has a process, a place, and a perfectly good reason why it functions the way it does. The other one could care less about process, order, and functionality……
