Yes, it's true, we have left our home for the last three years behind, said our final "zaijians," and have now been in the states for over two weeks now, resting and reflecting on the craziness of our Shanghai life. Most people know this, but the reason we left is because of doctor's orders: after developing asthma, I was told that I should no longer be living in such a polluted environment :( So, while we are heartbroken to leave, we are also very excited about the new adventure God has placed before us. We are off to cleaner air, and, well, you can read more about where we are going on the link below ;).
And, despite our lack of blogging about our Shanghai life (somehow we have evolved lately into writing only about our excursions away from Shanghai rather than our daily life). Now that we've had some time to reflect though, we realize that our day to day life was actually very special and also pretty interesting :) So this blog is a tribute to our life in Shanghai, China: our community, our ministry, our jobs, and our adventures! Steve and I have written some mini-blogs about the different aspects of our life, which you can click on below :)
Please also feel free to watch our video documenting our world for the last six weeks we were there (I recommend watching it after reading the blogs for the best blog experience :).
Our Ministry
Shanghai Date Nights (city explorations)
Happy @ SMIC (our jobs)
And finally, where we will be going next:
Jeju Island, South Korea!
