With another very full issue of PAX Press, you may be wondering where to begin. Well, in our first "On the Home Front" section of 2022/23, you have the opportunity to hear directly from host families—you won't want to miss their unique perspectives.

Also in the not-to-be-missed category:

- Roman (Ukraine) has a little face time with the mayor,

- Paula (Spain) enjoys an Olympic moment in Mississippi, and

- Awwaluna (Indonesia) spends some time reflecting on living with a Christian family.

You'll find all that and much more in this issue of PAX Press. Thanks to all those who submitted such thoughtful articles, and remember that paxpress@pax.org is always collecting stories, anecdotes, photos, videos, and more!
