is fantastic. Tonight I had a video call with my good friend, Tara. She is currently in Australia on summer break between school years. I’ve never had a phone call or video chat with someone in a foreign country, so it was a new experience to realize that though it was Sunday night for me, it was Monday morning for her.

Tara teaches at South Simbu Christian Academy in Papua New Guinea. I loved hearing her stories about life in “the bush.” Makes me wish I could go visit her!

This Thanksgiving, I’m especially thankful for friends.
