Summer in the US Part 1

This summer has been such a gift. While it's challenging to be uprooted from my normal life in Korea and to repack my suitcase every week and go somewhere new, when I think about all the people I've been able to reconnect with or meet, all the conversations & affirmation, all the familiar and new images of my birth country I've seen, all the delicious food I've eaten, and the constant present of God with me through it all, I see my summer for the blessing to me it's been. It's a refreshing break to look like and sound "normal," since I'm used to being a minority in Korea. 

To summarize the summer so far, I want to give you some images and videos, including the 2015 Engle Family Dance Video. Also, if you're interested, you can listen to a sermon I gave at West Clinton Mennonite Church on June 28 by clicking here and finding the sermon with my name.
