A Day With the Students


First I'd like to thank you all for your prayers and support. They are definitely felt by all. Yesterday we spent the day with some college students. I wasn't able to write last night because we weren't able to get on but it's all good now. Basically the day did not go how we expected but it went well anyway. We met the students at Central park Cafe and we just hung out for the most part. These people are good at english and were very curious. We also got to play a few mixer games, Phil shared his testimony, Jared and Gabe played a few songs, and a couple Chinese guys performed for us as well. After lunch we went and walked through Perking University which is HUGE! compared to UNO at least, but absolutely gorgeous. They even had a lake on their campus. There were a lot of good conversations and we have invited some to come to visit the Temple of Heaven with us today. We're praying for a good turn out. We also got to drive past the Bird's Nest and Water Cube. For dinner we went to a place called Chinese Restaurant which was good and had food more like we are used to. Afterwords we wandered around the shopping strip which is close to our hotel. This is where Jordan ate scorpion on a stick and Jared K. and Jordan found a vendor selling spinning tops and they had fun with those. We also went to a street filled with vendors selling trinkets. That was a crazy experience. You can't linger too long because they will latch onto you and will not let go. Yesterday was a great experience and we are excited to see what else will unfold and again thank you so much for your continuing support.
