A Day of Rest

Today was Sunday. Because we are in quarantine for another few days, we were not able to go to a church. Thankfully, we have a pastor on the trip! We made our own little church service. I am amazed at the variety of people on the team. The balance of young and old people is great! We are really learning so much from each other. It’s funny how easily they mix in with the young folks. It’s cool to think that in some cases there can be even 50 years difference between us (the oldest lady is 74!) and still have meaningful and deep conversations with each other about life, goals, experiences, and relationships. It seems like every meal, I get to talk to someone different about their life. Everyone here is so interested in really getting to know you, not just “surfacy” things. Today the pastor in our group baptized one of our team in a shower! How cool! One of the Chinese staff talked to him a lot today and he made the decision.
