Another full day on this wild ride to China
We began our morning with devotionals. Intriguing questions: in what ways do you struggle with your identify? How do you think life in China will affect your identity? How can you come to have a greater faith in whomGod says you are?
The rest of the morning was spent in training meetings learning some of the basics of how the TIP experience. The afternoon was spent visiting a jade factory and a visit to the Great Wall of China-Badaling. This section is outside Beijing and heavily visited. We found this section to be less than spectacular (if that is even appropriate to say about the Great Wall!). There were easily 5x the people as we found in Mutanayu so we didn't have the calm experience we loved in Mutanaya. So, I can say it was the second BEST trip I've ever taken to the Great Wall of China!
Keep those emails coming. I seem to find the time to read and reread each one...although I am not prompt in replying. Will find a routine to my free time soon!
Funny story: there is a 78 year old Canadian gentleman in our group. This morning around 6:30, he calmly entered our room. We both had been up and moving so it was not too shocking. What was shocking was his instance that we should have closed our door better!! Our door even has our names on a big sign...yet, our fault he entered. Go figure....Geesh.
