Christmas Guest in South Florida
Our Chinese friend, Howard, came to the U.S. for the first time. He was training at Ft. Hays University in Kansas for a teaching assistant position at the university. David visited him in Kansas for 4 days. At the end of December, Howard, visited us in our home. We had a great time seeing South Florida again through him.
