It is my pleasure to introduce you to a very vital member of our team.
Hippo will be traveling with us throughout China in Flat-Stanley style taking photos at all of the amazing locations Hippo gets to visit!
However, this is the challenge: Hippo needs a name! The Chinese word for "hippo" is "hema" which... will not be his name. her name? We have not yet figured out if Hippo is male or female. This will be quite a question.
Can I (Katie) please tell you how amazing my middle schoolers are? Well, they're rising freshmen now, but they rock! Over the last few weeks they've been bracelet-making machines! Not only have these girls been working they've gotten their parents, cousins, brothers, sisters, friends, strangers off the street making bracelets for us to take to hand out all across China. They also LOADED us with candies to give out! Over the next three-ish weeks they've committed to showering Amber and me (not Hippo) with prayers! It's been so remarkable to see the Holy Spirit move through these girls and I regularly thank God for them!
<>< Katie, Amber, and Hippo!
PS: Amber and I are reunited finally and getting nervous-excited about our journey!
Praying for you both!

You should name the hippo Miller! Then Bob will give you $20!!! Maybe he'll give you double if you name it Miller Robert!
ReplyDeleteHumphrey the Hippo was from VBS, but Humphrey is a lame name.
