...my wife and I will be in Beijing. We're going out to visit some friends for a while and are eagerly awaiting the trip. The run-up these past few weeks has been surprisingly un-stressful. We've got a suitcase full of food items that they cannot get there, chocolate chips making up large portion so far. We've each purchased our long underwear to deal with the cold (particularly if we take a trip up to Harbin, one of the major cities in the far north).
All of this planning is taking place during the already busy holiday season which is a big part of the reason I haven't been faithful in posting. We've just this past week finished getting gift for everybody and are still working on making arrangements for the time we are gone. Getting out of work has not been a big deal for us but it helps that we have been planning on the trip for most of this year.
So that's the story. Oh, and my brother and his wife should be having their first-born any day now. Lots of excite in the family right now.
so glad to read a post by you again! we received your letter and will definitely be keeping you and katie in our prayers while you are away. i would love to hear about your time and how God moves in your hearts.
