EAST ASIA - UPDATE #4

We have had a whirlwind couple of days so this is an attempt to catch up a little.

Day 4 was spent with our host family continuing to build on relationships begun earlier in the year.  It rained most of the day, and very heavy, so we were sad not to be able to get out to see more people but fortunate to be able to spend even more time with this wonderful family.

We left on an overnight train and arrived in the Capitol city early on day 5.  Our hotel rooms would not be available for several hours so we spent the time walking around our part of the city to see the sights and sounds of this bustling Asian city.

After some early sightseeing, we began a period of time meeting with students individually and in large groups.  During the evening we were blessed to spend 3 hours sharing with 15 or so university students and only one was a member of the "family."  Our team divided up with each person sharing with two or three students and great progress was made by everyone.

Day 6 will be filled with meeting our M's here, meeting with individual students, and a little sightseeing to fulfill our obligation.  Please continue to see the Father's blessings on everything that takes place today and then our travel back up north on an overnight train.
