A royal diadem in the hand of God
This post is from Angelique: As most people would agree, moving to a new place always comes with its challenges, dislikes and likes.

Hospitality
Last Sunday (6/22/2014), I invited 10 people from my home church to have brunch in my new place. My host family likes to spend time with their family and friends.
