Two Deaths

This sweet grandmother passed away last Monday, a shock to us all. If you remember we visited this family last month (Qiufen, the girl, is a friend) and slept in Grandmother's bed. That bed and all her personal possessions have been burned in the the Daoist funeral ritual. Qiufen and I are working on writing down Grandmother's life story.






Pan Jian is a young man who I used to visit at the orphanage. He is much smaller than Titus, but is actually 13 years old. Because of his illness, people who love him had been Asking that he would pass away; he was ready. Those close to him feel confident that he will join us in glory with a resurrected body.

  1. Wow Rachel. I'll be thinking of you both especially as you work together to record grandma's story. I'm glad you're able to be involved with the kids at the center; I'm sure you are being used.
