A Day in the City

Today we had quite the adventure!  We started out by visiting United Christian College and OMS.  It was interesting to hear about the history and the future of these two great places.  We made two new friends named Kato and Tony, both Chinese professors at the school who gave us a lesson in Chinese. They showed us a few common characters and then wrote out all of our names in Chinese characters.  We got to see the College's library and explore a little bit.  After our visit we headed to eat lunch at an awesome restaurant!  We ate family style and the food was amazing!!  We ordered a dish of eggs and tomatoes in honor of Celia King :) along with some other great dishes.  Cindy then took us to visit some community centers that are affiliated with Hong Kong Evangelical Church.  It was incredible to see how efficient they are!  They have two community centers and one big kitchen all within a 15 minute walk.  As a social work major, I was especially impressed with the fact that in one year's time they provede over 68,000 hours of service!   I really enjoyed getting to chat with Cherie, a young lady who works at the center.  We also got to see some primary school kids come through and they were so precious!!  After our visit, we headed to a bridge and hiked up to the overlook.  It was an amazing view!  Then to top off the night we ate dinner and stopped to get my favorite treat...frozen yogurt! :)

We had a great day and are starting to bond quite well.  We are having an amazing time and appreciate all the prayers that are being lifted up for us!

 

see you later!

    از بدترین خرابی های ساید بای ساید دوو خالی شدن گاز آن می باشد. در صورت خالی شدن و نشت گاز بوی بسیار بدی در کابین منتشر میشود. ضربه خودرن به لوله های پشت دستگاه یا برخورد اشیای نوک تیز از داخل کابین به لوله های سیستم سردکننده از مهم ترین دلایل برای رخ دادن این مشکل است. به محض مشاهده این شرایط باید با تیم های تعمیر یخچال و ساید دوو تماس بگیرید، در غیر این صورت دمای یخچال سرد نخواهد شد و مواد غذایی فاسد میشوند.

A day spent with TJ's Girls

May 10th: A Day Spent with TJ's Girls! Yesterday morning, TJ's girls took us to the local farmer's market. The market was filled with stands selling fresh veggies, fruit, and even live eels! Here we bought all of the ingredients needed to make Chinese dumplings. After our visit to the market, we made these delicious dumplings with the girls. Later, Dr. Chen suggested that we take the girls to do karaoke in downtown Shanghai. Our afternoon was filled with singing, dancing, and just spending time together. We had a wonderful time and the girls seemed to enjoy it as well. The time we have spent with the girls over the past week has been such a blessing. I am thankful for the opportunities we have had to get to know the girls while sharing exciting new experiences with them. - Jocelyn

May 20 back to Shanghai

By Kaylee: Today we left the New Hope Foundation and it was bittersweet. I wish we would have been able to spend more time there, but it was time to move on to the rest of our trip. After that, we went to the Great Wall and the Beijing Olympic Park. Out of the whole day, I would say the Great Wall was my favorite. Even though it felt like I was hiking for many hours, it was worth seeing something that most individuals will never get to see in their lifetime.

By Dr. Welling: Dear family and friends, The mission of Malone University states in part that we prepare our students to serve "the church, community, and world." Our students surely embodied Malone's mission as they served Mifan Mama at the organization's warehouse today. Mifan Mama collects clothing, furniture, and other goods on behalf of regional orphanages. Today we sorted new and used clothes and moved boxes and other items at the warehouse for nearly 6 hours. We were well synchronized as we sorted, counted, and packaged hundreds of items.  Dr. Chen and I were very pleased with our students' efforts, as was our service partner. Our eight team members would certainly have kept working had our ride to the subway station not arrived. After a brief respite, we finished the day with a time of debriefing over a Chinese meal -- shared family style -- and Magnum ice cream bars. Although imported from Belgium, I first enjoyed this sweet treat when Dr. Chen and I la...
