Mission 2012 - Old Friend Joins The Crew

Entry eight of my China blog:
Day Eight…it was my turn to share morning devotional! I felt led to share on the topic of perserverence and how God has given us the strength to persevere in our own lives despite what we face.

After devotional, it was a quick breakfast and off to the center. On the weekend the teachers do not come in so the day would be spend with just the carer and us to take care of the children. So majority of the day was spent as free time for the kids.


Today we were met by Kevin, who had come up from his job teaching English in a city south of Wuhan. He would be my roommate for the remainder of the trip and it was great to see him again. When I was in Canada in 2010, he was unfortuntely away from Vancouver so we didnt have the chance to catch up then.

In the afternoon Kevin joined our group and we continued with the free play time. It was a pretty easy day, everything went off without a hitch. Different groups of kids were entertained by different activities throughout the day, whether it be playing with the building blocks, colouring or playing with a ball. 

Dinner tonight was at another restaurant which is near the hotel I stayed at last time. Standard Chinese food again, but big servings so we all went home very full!
