Culture and Relationships

Highlights of the Week:

1. I have come to discover that most Hong Kong holidays included meal, snack, drink, snack, meal, snack, snack, snack, drink, dessert, meal, and snack. In Macau I ate 9 different times half the time eating more than one item at once. Good fun!

2. This week I taught the cultural club about the American west and folk tales. Watching thirteen-year-old girls act out the story of Paul Bunyan was quite comical.

3. Saturday morning we received a phone call telling us one of our Thai students wanted to cook us lunch before class. The meal included green curry soup, pork, and sticky rice/coconut milk/mango for dessert. It was a meal of celebration: for our friendship and for our Savior. What a joy!

4. After our 'daytrip' with the Form 7 girls, several of these new girls have been seeking us out. Praise God!! While I'm sad we only have a few more days to get to know them, I thank the Lord we have the chance.

5. Though this was not something that happened this week I feel compelled to mention it….in a museum in China there is a very ancient bolder with the Christ story carved into it. What makes this stone amazing is it's dated to the 700 c.e. It leaves me in awe and humbled to know that 'Christ's name" has been spread in China since 700. The Lord never fails to amaze me.
