Hi everyone! I got back from China a week ago, and it was a good trip. We got to see a lot of different parts of China, including some really neat rural villages in Yunnan Province and Inner Mongolia. There were ten students altogether, and we had a lot of fun doing stuff like climbing mountains, watching Mongolian-style wrestling and horse races, teaching Chinese schoolkids duck-duck-goose, and eating chicken that had been alive 30 minutes earlier. (It was actually pretty good--it was just a little weird because they cut up and cooked the whole chicken.) The only downside of the trip was being away from Christian fellowship for so long. I'm not entirely sure whether any of the other nine students were Christians, and it got a little lonely at times. I've moved up to Decorah for the rest of the summer, and I'll be spending the next two months or so up here helping with the new church here.
I was reading this morning in Romans 8 (one of my favorite chapters). I really like the part in Romans 8:37 where it talks about how we are "more than conquerors", even in all the trials of life. It's good to be reminded that no matter what happens, we are victorious through Jesus Christ, who triumphed over death, broke the power of sin in our lives, and reconciled us to God for all eternity. To him be the glory!
