I got to meet all of my new students in class M, which is a higher level class, so all of them speak English really well!Today was a gloriously sunny day unlike any I have seen in Beijing. The air was completely clear and as we drove into the city, I could see for kilometers and kilometers!
It almost made me miss sunny southern California.
This morning at church I sat next to a young Chinese man, and he asked me how long I had been attending Hiadian Church, and I told him, "This is only my third time here, because I have only been in China for two and a half weeks." And he replied, "I have been coming here for about sree months, but I am not a Christian."
I thought that that was a strange bit of information for someone to share with me the first time I met them in church, so after a moment i inquired: "Why?"
And he said, "Well, it seems difficult to be a Christian because there are many things that I still want to figure out. But also I really like coming here because my sister comes here, and I think that it is really a very, very nice place."
And I would agree.
But that is all I have to say for now because I am going to get some sleep - I need to wake up at 6 to have breakfast with the students!
