If you guys can please be praying, Korea has not set their quota yet for this year of how many EPs they are going to approve and grant. EPs are Emmigration or Exit Permissions. Typically it has been about 10% fewer then the previous year (although they fell short of their goal by close to […]
MoreFor Christmas Leighton got a Lego Firehouse. And not just any Lego Firehouse, a Lego Firehouse that came with 753 pieces to be exact. He was so excited after he opened it Christmas morning he didn’t want to do anything else. It was so fun to watch his little eyes light up. And so he […]
