Dear my friends in Christ, 

I hope you are doing well. I’m so happy to share this joyful news with you: our newborn baby, Leon Shin, has safely arrived in this world. He was born on 8/31 at 6:47 p.m. at Community Medical Center in Toms River, NJ. My wife, Hanna, is recovering well. Please keep our family in your prayers. God bless you all.
