Hi everyone! Took me longer than I planned to get to writing this update – sorry! I’ve been pretty busy over the past month. Lots of youth ministry activity, I’m working hard on the Youth-in-Asia stuff, and I finally went to see a doctor after a couple of bad migraines. (It’d been over a year…
Hey everyone, This isn’t a regular update email. Instead, it’s some China storytelling! I was reminded recently that one of the most popular updates I ever sent out was the “Water Stories” of last summer (July 2009). So I’ve been on the look out for some stories to tell you – so here goes! Cold…

Hi everyone! The weather has cooled off significantly in the past few weeks. I still get surprised by how fast the seasons change here! Unfortunately, there is still no word as to when our hot water will come back on. Big sigh. On a better note, the October Holiday has been and gone and now…
The Olympic Countdown 2 weeks to go… Beijng Olympics banners in blue/aqua/spring green/yellow lined every major road. The new Olympic Use Only lanes on the ring roads were opened.
