I'll just have to wait
Have you ever missed something so bad that it hurts? I want to go back. I want to hold those babies in my arms. I want to talk, laugh, and worship with my team. I want to be surrounded by Chinese people. I want to wake up tomorrow morning in that big blue house. I guess I'll just have to wait for now.

Life Lessons
Summer is coming to a close and I have been reflecting on every thing I've learned. This summer has definitely a life changing one. God has taught me so much but here are a few practical lessons I've learned.
1. If you go to China, wear skirts. It makes using a squatty potty a little easier.
2. On the same note, keep the little napkin packs they give you at restaurants; you never know where there won't be any toilet paper.
3. Uncrustables cut lunch making time in half.
4. Duck is delicious!
5. If you climb the Great Wall, choose to toboggan down. It is one of the most fun things you will ever do.
6. Don't feed the chickens in the circle.
7. Don't be afraid of using a saw.
8. Don't scratch bug bites, you might get a staph infection.
9. Don't be afraid to sit on a stranger's bed on an overnight train. You might make a new friend.
10. Don't take pictures with strangers
11. The Brady Bunch Movie is hilarious.
12. Look before you sit down. You might sit on a blueberry if you don't.
13. When working with kids, bring silly bands. It's their currency.
14. If you hear a whistle, get our of the way. You might get peed on by a kid with split pants.

I have been changed for good...
I can't believe that 2 months ago today I landed in China, my new favorite place on earth. I am not the same person now as I was when I boarded that 13 hour flight. I have made unbreakable bonds with the people I have met. I have developed new passions. I have fallen in love with the precious gifts from God that live in a big blue house. I have learned so much about myself and I have learned so much about my creator. I am looking forward to see where this road I have started out on leads me.
He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6
