1 month down

I can't believe it, but I have already been here in Beijing for a month. The time here so far has really flown by. I am growing to love it here more and more everyday.
We have a 3 day weekend off from work for July 4th, and today a bunch of people at work took a trip to this gorge about two hours away from our hotel. It was awesome. This place was absolutely beautiful. It felt like I was in that scene of Jurassic Park where they are flying down onto the island in that helicopter. If you know what I am talking about, it looked like that. If not, just go with me on this. Anyway, it was awesome. I got to hang out with some of the men from work who are christians. I got to hear some of where Jesus has brought them over the past twenty years or so. I learn more all of the time how Jesus totally changes lives when He captures people's hearts. Also at this gorge I did a zip line. It was way cool and quite a rush. They also had bunjee jumping, but no way was I going to do that.
Quick story about the zip line. I went up there to do it and they put this harness on me, and all looked well. Then one of the workers put a harness on and went on the zip line ahead of me across the river. It was good to see that, because there wasn't someone on the other side to catch me. (The zip line wasn't very busy. Most people were doing the bunjee jump.) So he goes down and then it's my turn. So I get tied in and I jump off. I'm going down and it's awesome. As I'm approaching the other side, they have this concrete pad for me to land on and a net behind it. I'm assuming that the worker will step in front and catch me or something, but no he backs away. So I head in to land and I'm trying to just land on my feet on the concrete but I'm going to fast to do that so I just go straight into the net and kind of fall back onto the concrete. Honestly it was really fun. It would have been nice to know what I was supposed to do, but what do you expect when you can't talk to the people. Also, the picture that is with this post is of me on the zip line right after I jumped off of the platform. I'm really small, so I don't know if you can see me.
Now if you don't mind I want to talk a little of what is on my heart lately. Everyday I feel Jesus growing in me a real desire for souls to know Him. All day I am at work around these people, and honestly what my desire for them is to know the Jesus I know. To know that God is really real and that He is better than anything ever and He cares for them. They are so decieved and waste there life on drunkeness and sex and hating people and money. Jesus is so much better than the things of this world. One night a week or so ago, I was in a starbucks and just talking to Jesus about how I want so bad for these people for to know Him and to have a God in this world and to have a hope, but that I didn't know what to do or how to do it. I felt like He said to love them. Specifically to care about them and the things they care about. I have felt like He has said something to this degree to me before and I feel like what He continues to teach me is that when being a Christian around non-Christians and sharing the gospel with them, I need to "love my neighbor as myself." I need to care that their marriage is a wreck, and that they wonder why life seems pointless, and why they feel miserable when they are by themselves. I hope this makes sense and please pray for me that I would care and would not be so selfish to not get into people's lives the way Jesus did.
