we're Nanchangin' it! ;)

our staff team arrived in China yesterday morning, and our time here has already been so precious!!
i just love being in nanchang...it feels like such a honor to be serving here this summer. life feels so rich and blessed...
this is my 4th time to China, and i'd have to say that this trip already feels different than my previous ones. being here certainly feels special and different, but i feel like i know what to expect and a lot of what was facinating to me on my first trip doesn't take me by surprise anymore. it's kind of cool actually, to feel so aclimated to this culture. :)
one highlight of our trip so far has been getting to know one of the Chinese college students named Lucia...we spent a lot of time yesterday talking over a foot massage and dinner. she's a great new friend, we've got lots in common, and i'm excited to spend more time with her over the summer, as she'll be on staff for camp here in Nanchang.
well, we're having a bachorlette party for another one of my Chinese friends (Mary) who is getting married on sunday! good times are in the plenty. thanks for your prayers.
love,
k

Hey K,

What is it like there? Will you be having contact with the Bejing team on a regular basis...or do you function independent of one another? Is Nanchang effected by the Olympics or does it seem too far away?

We love and miss you!
