Labor Day Weekend

Yo guys. This past weekend was labor day weekend and we got 3 days off to celebrate. My friend Nathan and I got to go to northern China to go visit some people there that I knew. It was a really cool trip. We rode a train for ten hours through the night to get there and on the way back. It was fun experience. Here are some pics of the weekend.This is me on top of a small mountain outside of the city we were visiting. I was freezing!!
This is Nathan drinking his milk tea, and James and I in our grass eating poses. This was taken at a Mongolian restaurant. It was awesome. I love the food over here more and more.
This is me in a kind of market in the city we were visiting. It was in the Hui(pronounced Way or Wei) part of town. The Hui are chinese muslims who are spread all over China. We got to see one of there mosques while we were there.

Please pray for me as I'm over here. I love it here more all the time but it's also hard being here sometimes. The Lord is teaching me so much but at the same time stretching me, and as you know stretching is uncomfortable. I don't know about you guys but I like being comfortable. Maybe that is why I am over here. Haha. Well one of the things that I know now more than ever is that I can totally trust where Jesus has me and where He is taking me and what He is teaching me, and I can do this because He is good and He loves me. I hope that does not sound shallor because in the last 3 months that has become so real to me. That I am His son and He is a good Father. I love that.
Thanks guys. Later.
