News from January 15-21 We continue to be in the middle of the virus season.  Cub woke up with pink eye one morning last week.  He seems pretty happy anyway.  It's so noticeable because his eyes are so big. Doyeon practiced her make-up skills on Yuli.  Yes, the Zombie look is intentional.  And Doyeon also has a new look--she is now sporting braces. Yuli and Cam after pre-school.  They get along well with each other. Mav and Jieun both celebrated birthdays on the 21st.  Jieun shared her birthday cake with us.  We are so excited for Mav's baptism next month.  Roy and I are flying to Augusta for it at the end of February.   A great day at the Green's:  Ollie was ordained a deacon at 11:00 on Sunday the 21st.  Roy was able to  participate, but I didn't dare since I was teaching gospel doctrine at 11:30.  I didn't want the stress of not making it in time.  Sorry, Ollie!  I wish I could have been there.  Congratulations! Ruby is like her grandmother.  She loves to read.
