Hello there Rich and Michelle!

We wanted to write to tell you a little bit of our story and the journey that brought us to your
home. Last summer our family went on a mission trip to Africa for 6 weeks. We enjoyed every moment
together, we shared the gospel and were able to witness the love of Christ to many. We visited with
widows, went to orphanages, slums, villages and taught in schools. We also had the opportunity to
train local pastors in a leadership training course. We came home changed. When the nameless faces
that we hear about in the news become our friends and when their stories now become a part of our
story we find ourselves looking at things differently. It has redefined what we hold dear to our hearts
and what our children would consider a need vs. a want.

Since we returned from our trip we hear ourselves saying we cant forget we need to do
something and so in November one of things we felt lead to do is sell our home. Our desire is to
downsize and live simply so others may simply live. The gift of your home would allow us the freedom
to do more mission trips and it would free up more of our finances to take care of the poor and needy
and build His Kingdom. This would also allow us to further build in our children what has been planted
in their hearts, to love those in need more than the things of this world. Our prayer has always been
that the Lord would use us and our home for His glory, that He would plant us in a place that we may
share of His love and impact those around us. Our heart is to remain in Oakville so the children will not
have to change schools. We love the community and would like to continue to call it home.

So, we thank-you for taking the time to consider our offer. It was a wonderful feeling to walk
into your home and feel the presence and peace of God. We would love to make 395 Atwood Lane our
forever home.

Many Blessings,

Joo-Meng, Rosanna, Jacob, Elianna, Nathaniel and Abigail.
