China Update

-Touched down in China an hour after the guys from Grace did
-Took an overnight train (freezing train station)
-Got some great time with the GC guys
-10 hours of footage, send everything back with the Branners
-Went to several villages several times
-Rode a motorcycle taxi with 2 other people and somehow God kept us from being knocked over by the wind
-Saw the kids (I will need to get the pictures of Laergaga from Chris)
-One of the roads was so bumpy that, not only did it throw us around (got some comments it was like a theme park ride), but it ripped one of my camera batteries in half~!
-Got a headcold at the very end of the trip (very happy on the timing as that I didn't miss anything)
-Met with multiple people living longterm in the city and was able to learn a lot from them. Most seemed like review (which I expected and was happy it was that which means I know the situations and what is going on) but got some great info and some wonderful affirmation
-Spent a fair amount of time with the Branners. Tossed lots of ideas around and I was able to ask a ton of questions
-"Everyday feels like a week" kept being repeated as so much happened in every single day
-I won't be able to come again in the summer as work will conflict, but am really hoping I can come again in future winters
