Good evening everyone. I'm Ye and thank you for coming. May I ask you to think about the last time you wanted to wash your hands.Perhaps it was just an hour or two ago when you were eating dinner and there was some food on your hands. Or maybe it was right before you came to the auditorium after you used the restroom. In any case, when we turn our heads down the hall, there's a sink with a faucet that gushes clean water at the flick of the tap.Well, when I was in northern Thailand coaching basketball to the ...

Guiding us through the town was teacher Swining.In 2011, after retiring from our school, he chose to leave comfort behind. In his 60s, he came to Yingan and ...

I think it's safe to assume that no matter how bad the gift was, you responded with gratitude.And hey, it's the thought that counts, right. But now I want to flip that question. Have you ever given a bad ...

And um, when I say I ran the mile, I mean I sprinted the mile.I ran full speed start to finish. And of course about halfway through I'm about to keel over and I'm panting and I'm gasping of breath. And so, um, but thankfully at the finish line, my brother was there and, um, he, I say thankfully because I literally fell across the ...

If you asked me what life was when I was a child who understood absolutely nothing going on in the world, I would tell you that life was eating ice cream sundaes at BJ's and watching ducks in Memorial Park. To me, even the simplest moments like these seemed so valuable and what life was all about. But then if you had me contemplate this question as a middle schooler who was still growing and trying to find my identity, I would give a completely different answer.I would say that life was playing volleyball, ...
