After a 19 hour bus ride, we have arrived in the next meeting place in China. Overall, our team did okay on the bus ride. A few of us had a little motion/altitude sickness, but nothing serious. We are now 12,000 + ft above sea level and loving it.
Tomorrow is going to be an adventure for us! Upon arrival here, we found out that the Brown team was not coming. There are five cities that Eugene has planned for us to go to. Since we are lacking one team, we decided that each individual would pray about which city they would go to. Four people would go to each city.
Well…Team Trinity prayed about it and we are going to be split up. It is only for four days, so I think we will survive without eachother…I HOPE!! Lloyd and Chad both felt the desire to go to city number 4. They will be ministering with Casey (Red Team) and Liesl (Yellow Team). Together they will touch many lives in their city. They will also be much higher than anyone else (16,000 ft). Tauna and Sarah will be together in city number 2. Sarah only thought her Spanish speaking days were over. There are 2 Hispanic missionaries already in that city that the girls will be working with. They will be ministering with Lana and Jaques (Lime Team). Kim, “Miss Independent,” will be going to city number 1 along with Stephan (Lime Team), Estee (Yellow Team), and Anna Marie (White Team..he he).
We have heard that all the cities are very cold and are even expecting SNOW. We are well prepared with our beanies and winter coats (which will all be shipped home when we get to Hong Kong). Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we travel across China and meet many Tibetan people that have never heard the name of Jesus Christ. We will not be able to email or blog in any of these cities (very remote). We will be in touch as soon as possible. God Bless!!!
