Heavenly Father, I give you thanks.

Although I haven't known you for long,

I don't know without your blessing...

how I would have lived in this foreign country.

Thanks to you, I made friends at church.

They gave me love and support.

I also want to thank my daughter.

Although she has a busy job,

she brought me over from China to take care of me.

Could you give her your blessing?

And also to her...

roommate.

Amen.

I heard someone new just joined the church?

Jin's wife just arrived with her green card.

Thanks be to God.

They came to ours for Bible study. They'll be there next week too.

I didn't invite them to Auntie Lin's this time.

They waited quite a while for that green card.

Three years? Four?

Covid made everything so complicated.

Do you remember Jin? From Beijing.

Bald.

- It's probably my roommate. - No problem.

You have a roommate?

Invite her down.

Michelle!

Everyone here is from church.

Hey, it's the little one! You've grown so much.

What have you done? What did you do?

It's OK. It's not her fault.

Roommate.

This is my roommate, Briana.

Thank you, Briana. I'm so sorry about Michelle.

No worries, really. It's OK.

Your little girl is naughty!

She keeps me on my toes.

I heard Mi just took the kids back to China.

They haven't been back for five years.

Thirty hours flying with two kids...

- Shall we ask her to join us? - No, it's OK.

Briana, come join us!

- I don't want to interrupt you all. - Of course not.

Come! Join us!

Have you seen Zhang recently?

I heard their daughter just got engaged.

They must be really relieved.

They have God's blessings.

There's no point in worrying.

Have you met Zhang?

His family is from Sichuan.

They've been here for 40 years.

Old immigrants.

You will meet them at church.

Jane,

any good news recently?

Not really. Work is busy.

Lawyers are busy.

- How old are you? - 32.

You look so young.

But when I was your age, I already had two kids.

You should hurry up.

I just remembered,

I met a man who might be suitable.

I can bring him to our church.

Or you could meet him when you pick up Auntie Lin?

He's really nice.

It's really not necessary.

Ask the roommate what she does.

Briana, what do you do?

I'm a photographer.

That's so cool!

Did you take all these photos?

Yes, but I mainly just do portraits now.

So Briana, how do you make money?

She's a famous photographer, and teaches at the university.

See, the foreigners really have an easy life.

They can become professors by taking photos.

We are the foreigners.

That's enough dumplings.

Warm up the food everyone brought over.

Check the water. If it's boiling, we can start cooking.

Why is your lawyer daughter still living with a roommate?

That's their own business.

Speaking of which, you two should buy your own place.

- Got any good suggestions? - Yes.

There's a great two-bed on the market right now.

Don't bother. I don't know how long I'll stay here.

Where else would you go? There's no one left for you in China.

Buy a house with a yard here.

Plant some vegetables and flowers. Wouldn't that be great?

It would be better if there were a child.

I still remember, Michelle was so small.

She was a quiet baby. She never cried.

She just slept quietly in the corner.

And now she's a big girl.

Time flies.

All thanks to God's blessings.

Our lives have been good here.

I will pray for you.

Sorry.

Take a break.

Is everything alright?

Yes.

She wants to take a walk.

Let's have cake!

Make sure she stays for the cake.

Come have some cake!

Let's sing Happy Birthday!

Ready?

One, two, three.

Cheese!

Has everyone got a piece?

Sorry, I have work and I need to go.

But I hope you guys enjoy the rest of the party.

Happy birthday.

Nice meeting you, Briana.

Is she leaving already? She hasn't had cake.

She has work.

Don't you have work too?

I'll go with her.

I'm sorry.

Enjoy the rest of the party.

Let's eat cake.

Sally, how old is your daughter?

She turns seven next month.

What else is she learning?

Piano and dance.

Latin dance, she told me.

What a little genius!

Stop looking!

Everyone, come read the Bible!

"Therefore God gave them up to the lusts of their hearts

"and vile impurity,

"so that their bodies would be dishonored among them,

"because they exchanged the truth of God for a lie."

I have something to share too.

"When I was a child,

"I talked like a child,

"I thought like a child,

"I reasoned like a child.

"Now that I am become a man,

"I have put away childish things.

"For now we see but a dim reflection as in a mirror;

"but then, face to face.

"Now, I know in part;

"but then shall I know fully,

"even as I am fully known.

"And now these three remain:

"faith, hope and love.

"But the greatest of these...

"is love."
