Reporting from Beijing!
It is so incredible here...the history is amazing and humbling, and the people are wonderful! A man on the subway the other day actually ran up to me to give me the one yuan I left in the ticket machine. One yuan is equal to 16 American cents. So sweet.
I am learning so much, mainly finding that God is so much bigger than I thought He was. I have spent so much time of my life living unaware of the ways in which God works all over the world. But I am finally realizing that He has been at work long before I could fathom Him. As we drove into Beijing for the first time and I saw a Chinese flag waving, I heard Him whisper, "Yes, this is my nation, too."
Highlight so far has been meeting the Mother Teresa of China, Mary Chiang. She works with blind people to teach them a skill and give them musical instrument lessons. They played their traditional Chinese instruments for us, and it was so amazing.
I do miss America (mainly the food), but I am so happy to be here. Best wishes to the states!
Great to hear from you! Tell Logan HI from us! I know it's not easy to get this computer time there, so I'm impressed. Got to talk to Hannah's Mom yesterday and she told us a little bit about that. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteAh yes the whisper! From God! Love it. I know I am not really speaking in full sentences here, but I am just so filled up by your words. I'm not going to say I wish you were here, because you are where you need to be. Keep transforming. I am trying my best to do the same!
