The (Elder) Rosenbergs Visit!

We had the privilege of welcoming James' parents, Joy and Dave, to our side of the globe this April. It was their first time in Asia and only our second time to host family! After a few days in Beijing, they spent two weeks with us exploring our home, nearby cities, and the mountains where we live.

The vegetables from these local minority ladies' gardens made a delicious salad!

Joy examines a tiny teacup at a market stall.

We spent one afternoon in a Tibetan family's home. 

 Owen, as well as the grands, had their first tastes of yak butter tea, barley cake, and yak meat.

It was a wonderful visit. We so appreciate their enthusiasm for all we shared with them, their generosity in all that they shared with us, and their affection for Owen. They are much missed!
