Hey sorry about that last downtrodden post. God picked my spirits back up. We are finally in Hong Kong! We arrived at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU for short) today around one. Even before we got into the building we met a guy named Steven and a guy named Eric. They are here on an internship/study abroad and Steven grew up in Missouri. Actually Springfield. Really what school did he go to? Kickapoo. Oh wow! That's where Weston is from. You know Weston!? Weird, he's actually teaching in Beijing this summer. Ya!
In a city of 7.5 million what are the chances of tht. The very first person we talk to in Hong Kong. The Lord is mysterious and sometimes just funny.
It's been interesting trying to understand the small intricacies of the system. When do I swipe my Octopus card to get a drink from the vending machine? How do I swipe my card to get outside? What do I do with my tray in the food court at Festival Walk the mall. Why is there a skating rink here? Why do the buses keep driving past us??
So fun. Tomorrow morning we meet the school officials for serious talk and then time to plan the opening ceremony for our students! FUNTOWN! I miss everyone back home dearly. I'm glad to be staying in touch on facebook. Thinking and praying for all of you all the time.
