Day 25: Stop the Spread of Sinophobia!
I’ve been seeing a lot of hate speech toward China lately. I hate that it’s 2020 and we still have to constantly combat racism. In another post, I discussed my conflicting views of mission work and how they seem to me to be nothing more than modern-day colonialism. This is a follow-up of that idea.Continue reading “Day 25: Stop the Spread of Sinophobia!”

Day 80: Living in a Bus Step 10: Furnishings!!!
The most fun I’ve had so far with this bus project was picking out the furniture and the decor.

I recently had a “bus-warming” party with my family and they helped meContinue reading “Day 80: Living in a Bus Step 10: Furnishings!!!”
