On packing lightly...

From what I hear, China is going to be quite a culture shock.

I've been given lots of information on the differences between the cultures here and there, and one thing I find interesting is that it is more than perfectly acceptable to wear the same outfit several times a week.
Therefore, I guess I don't actually have to pack very many clothes for the two months I will be spending there.
In fact, everyone is recommending that people pack light because, well, airlines can be lame these days.

Aside from airlines,
today was an absolutely amazing day that further confirmed how incredible God is and how he has been preparing my heart to go to China.
Tim and Dale prayed for me during church, and it was such a blessing to know that this trip will be considered in the hearts and minds of my fellow believers.
My family also prayed for me, and it was wonderful to know how much they are supporting me.

So, at this point, I am more than ready to get on that plane and go to China... except for one thing... I have not even started packing!
Ah!
I'd better get to work.

Happy Fathers day everyone! :)
