Morning Meeting

Monday, March 23

We were able to meet with a man today who is the leader of a HC here. It was an amazong experience to see his passion and dedication. He was able to describe how the HC worked and what kinds of needs they have. We were able to have lunch with him as well. We had some really good fried dumplings at a mall. Neither John nor I have much experience with chopsticks, especially with dumplings that stick together! At one point, out of desperation, John was trying to seperate two dumplings by stabbing at them. An older Chinese couple came by and laughing patted John on the shoulder. He motioned a better way to use the chopsticks and told John (which we found out after it was translated) that he would need four years to master the chopsticks! We all got a good laugh! (The couple were really sweet, and it was not mean spirited at all!)

Here is John in the mall food court :)
