2Crazzie4U: It is such a blessing to know how God loves us so much that He was willing to go through so much for such a sinner as I am. It is also amazing to know that He is always with us, even if we don't want Him to be with us, or when we think we can do it on our own. He loves us too much to let us hanging. You are a Blessing. -Tiny Toes

A Slow Boat to China

Actually, I'll be taking a rather fast jet to China. I leave today at 3:30 from Hunstville, AL, and by tomorrow afternoon, will be setting foot in Chengdu China (though by that time, it'll be Saturday because of the time change.) I am so incredibly excited.

I think only family and friend read this, so everyone should know by now, but I'm going to China to teach Enlish for 3 weeks. We'll be gone for a little longer, because of travel time, but we'll be in the class for 3 weeks. We will be in Chengdu, China, in the Sizchuan province (SW part) of China. I say we... Mike is coming with me. We are 2 of about 30 students from Maranatha, which is 1 of 4 schools making the trek. There are almost 150 students total. We will be spread around the province, some in the city, some in the country, teaching conversational English to students ranging in age from 6 or 7 all the way into adulthood. I actually received news a few weeks ago, that I may be teaching some of the university professors. Talk about intimidating! But we're excited and looking forward to every moment.

I must rush, as we leave in less than 5 hours! If you care to find how I'm doing, please go to our website: www.teamchinaonline.org

See you all in a month! Love you!
