As another school year is coming to a close for Mission College, the senior class has already left the nest of the Bangkok campus, and is working at new jobs using the skills they learned as nursing students in hospitals throughout Thailand. This year was the first full year that we had the opportunity to spend with the students, so their departure was even more bittersweet. We were very excited for them as they celebrated their pinning and conscercation services, but the silence that has been left in their place as the year wraps up is more profound than what we would have thought. It made me realize what a profound sense of emptiness there will be when my own two daughters leave from home in the not too distant future. One the other hand, in several more weeks we know that the new sophomore class will arrive, and we will look forward to the joys and challenges of walking with the students in leading them closer to Christ.
