David prayed that God will lead us to adopt a family in China. That was on my mind the first thing after I woke up. God had prepared both of us for it. When we found out that Gary will return to Beijing on Saturday, we sent an email right away asking about the possibility of finding a sponsor candidate for us. We've been examining our financial status recently. David asked "What would Jesus do?" many many times. We ask God to give us wisdom to be a better steward for Him.
LST sent an email thanking us for introducing them to Jet World Travel. They said they booked most of this year's tickets from there since the price was better and it was faster than others. We were glad to hear that. Phil from GardenRidge and Kelsey from LST asked the China team to take some materials to Beijing. The team is leaving next Wednesday morning. They've got to act fast if they want to deliver the materials to Ted and Mary on time.
It was one of the relaxing evenings since David's reader Mike couldn't make it for Friendspeak tonight. After dinner, I continued to read the book "The Voice of A Wanderer" while David continued to read the book "Raising the Kids of True Greatness". I read the part about the sin. It was difficult for many Chinese to accept the concept of sin and sinners. It all started when Adam and Eve deliberately chose Satan (the tree of Knowledge) instead of God (the tree of Life). The result was the death, both spiritual and physical. Since all the people were born after that, we all inheritated that: sin and death. God hated sin; but He loved the sinners so that He gave His only Son to reconcile and offer the life to them. "That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:9)
I fell asleep after the reading. After I woke up, David picked up the Chinese book that I was reading and began to read. I was thrilled that he recognized about ten percent of the Chinese characters! It won't be long for him to read a Chinese book on his own!
