Ni Hao, (pronounced “Knee-how)
That is “hello, how are you?” in chinese. We are good. We have had packed days full to the brim of great stuff. We left Tianjin on Monday and traveled by van (3 hours) to Hebei University in Baoding. We met with teachers and kids that evening and then yesterday went to Hebei Finance University across town and I got to see one of my favorite old JMU leaders Will McLaughlin teach a class. He was phenomenal. Will is married to Becky, an incredible young gal who also led at JMU. Then we were part of my favorite thing of the trip so far. ENGLISH NIGHT! (club) They do English night every 2 weeks and it consists of songs, games, skits, and then a talk at the end about something that provokes deep thinking about life, relationships, and Father. Last night one of the other teachers spoke about hope: What do you hope for? Where does hope come from? It was AWESOME! Over 200 kids piled into a classroom for a crazy night of singing Rihanna, laughing and being loved. I have a short video but it won’t download because the internet is slow. Thank you for lifting us up. Father is on the move.
