This summer we are blessed to have a nineteen year old girl from China stay with us for a couple of weeks. Liv arrived yesterday and despite the language barrier, we are having a wonderful time together. She is here in Texas this summer living with her uncle and trying to practice her English (she attends an English school in Oregon during the rest of the year.) She has brought joy and laughter into our somewhat crazy home. The kids love her and Haley even asked me to please leave her room so she could play with Liv. Today we made a trip to the Asian market and Liv is going to teach me how to make some of her favorite stir-fry dishes. We also went swimming and it is her first time swimming in America...which has been almost 4 years. So, we are both sharing a little of our cultures and learning about life in a new place.
