“Sorrow and celebration can coexist together in a heart quite authentically.  We don’t have to pick one or the other. We can simply have both” ~ Lysa TerKeurst

We send our sincere condolences and prayers to Mary and Sarin and their family at the passing of Mary’s father, Ton Chap. May they find comfort in the cherished moments they shared together.

We also send our congratulations to Mary and Sarin at the engagement of their oldest daughter, Vita. Vita was a shy, four-year old when we partnered with her father in 2005 to build the first classrooms at Spitler School. Now she is a beautiful, confident 22-year old woman about to start a new life with her fiancé, Tep Ratha. We send them, and both families, the best of wishes in this joyous time.
