Pray
Tuesday, October 20, 2026 – In Asia-2 — I quickly grabbed one of her heavy bags and followed her home. This couple has been a bright spot in my life over the last two months. R has shown deep spiritual interest. She and I have gone on long walks around the neighbourhood, often stopping every few feet because we are so absorbed in conversation.
