Hong Kong: My Last Words

My three months at Hong Kong have finally come to close. In some ways, I have so much to say about my thoughts and feelings…..yet I do not know how to say them. To say this has been an amazing spiritual and academic journey would be true but a little over the top. What I can say is by taking the leap of faith and coming to Hong Kong the Lord changed me and  taught me in ways I had not anticipated. I had not anticipated being so emotional having to say goodbye to my friends at the church and at the school. I do not know if I will ever come back to Hong Kong. I hope to someday, but for now, I rest knowing that faith had brought me to Hong Kong and through faith, I am connected to these dear friends. 

 

My last request is for your prayers as Emily and I travel in Asia over the next two weeks, before we head home. As always thank you for your prayers and support. May this holiday season be one of love, joy, peace, and hope
 

Chin-English Phrases I will miss:

1. "No Need"

2. "Of course"

3. "wOUOW"

4. "Are you boring?" – we think they mean," are you bored"

5. "Have you had your breakfast?" (You think this would be self-explanatory but it's not)

6. "Take a rest" At first I thought this meant take a nap…but it really mean sit and relax until we come and get you.
