Sometimes in the last couple of months, it felt as if someone pressed a gigantic "pause" button with life. I have been away from home before so I know how it feels to come back and almost feel like you time travelled. But this time everyone stopped together. No time travel feeling when it is over because we will all be starting over together.
I saw someone post a "meme" on Facebook recently that said, "you can either be a drunk, chunk, monk, or hunk after quarantine... so choose wisely." It definitely made me chuckle, but the there is also a lot of truth in that statement.
I do hate that this virus happened. I hate having to be separated from my church family and friends. But there is some beauty in all of this. How many times in our lifetimes will we be able to stay home with endless opportunities on how to spend the time. We have some big choices on how we spend our time and I pray that we all will choose wisely.
We, the KC clan, have had some good days and some bad days. I can imagine most people will say the same about their own quarantine experiences. But my favorite part of all of this is how much time I have had to invest in my own children. I am so grateful that our church, New Braunfels Bible Church, teaches our daughters truths from the Bible. But without being able to go there and in effect, spending ample amount of time with our children, we have been able to see the fruit from all of that teaching. The hunger from a 4-year-old to understand the Bible is phenomenal. Her questions that, if I am completely honest, (though outlandish sometimes) are challenging and open up great discussion. I challenge all parents out there to encourage their children to ask questions and be there for them, it is absolutely OK to not know the answers and show them how to find the answers.
So, what have we been up to these past few months?
Other than having great Bible and worship time daily, we have been spending a lot of time outdoors and the girls have been able to spend quality time with their grandparents. This is perfect timing, seeing as we will be taking off soon to embark on our journey back to Nepal. 
Simon has been continuing his job and taking part time classes. His vision for the church in Nepal remains and working towards his vision is only increasing his passion. (He is enrolled in Grace School of Theology)
Karina has been enjoying motherhood while calming her itch to teach by planning and preparing for her 5th grade class this upcoming fall.
God is good.
We are grateful for everything.
But please do continue to keep us in your prayers.
