I can't believe it, but our first school year here is about over!!! We have 5 weeks left and then we head home for the summer.
It has been quite a year. Now that we feel pretty well adjusted, it is time to go back the states and mess it all up! No, I am kidding really, but next year will be a lot LOT easier since we know how to go places, how to communicate a little, and are forming wonderful friendships with friends from English corner.
I hope in the fall to do even more English corner type work at the university near our school. College students love talking to us and they are a lot of fun. I feel like this is an area I am called to serve. And when we return home, that is an area I can continue working in- helping Asian students adjust to American culture, since I will have lived here and can see/ experience the difference. It has got to be as hard for them in America as it is for us here.
Before we wrap up the 2009-2010 school year, I hope to finish up strong with my students, especially teaching them truth, continue to build relationships with Chinese staff and English corner friends, and spend time with all of the above enjoying the weather now that is has finally gotten warm. Did I mention it was close to 90 today?
Thanks for all your continued support. We will be visiting churches this summer to share what G-d is doing in China and in our lives. If you would like us to come to your church, let me know- we still have a few open dates and we love to share as much as possible, where we can openly.....
Until next time,
Angie
