It’s hard to believe it’s
Friday night already. Where has the time gone? Well a lot of action
has been crammed into this week. We’ve met with several groups of
students eager to practice their English and sat in on some classes. It’s
been rewarding as a leader to watch our Northwestern students build bridges and
foster friendships. Members of our team worked with young students; helping
them learn to manage conflict through delightful skits. Fun with ‘like-minded’
people included an Amazing Race scavenger hunt. There have
been hours spent on the subways and buses and many miles walked in
between. We’ve discovered that boarding a subway can be a very harrowing
experience; so many people trying to occupy so little space with lots of
pushing and shoving involved. We’ve also played the role of tourist.
Today we visited the Temple of Heaven and bartered at the Pearl Market.
Prices were incredible but the vendors were extremely aggressive. We’ve been
trying lots of new foods; most are wonderful. One highlight was sharing
in the college age service last night. We sang three songs (this director
was pleased!) and Jesse shared a short challenge. The rest of the service
was in Chinese but the Spirit was evident in their heart-felt worship. Tomorrow
we head for the Great Wall. Sei will probably try to jump it but we’ll
curb his enthusiasm – or the guards will!
Bev, for the team
