guess what we're having for dinner?


Ah... three choices
a) Chinese food
b) Chinese food
c) Chinese food

You have to laugh. Spent a relatively quiet day hoping and praying the fog would lift (it hasn't) and the baggage would be on the way. Alas, still covered in the mist of uncertainty. I heard a message from Chuck Swindoll that in 1 square mile of 10 foot visiblity fog there is only 1 cup of actual "water" it is just so microscopicaly dispersed?! Whether or not this is scientifically acurate - it sure sounded impressive. I've been praying the Father would have at least one of the recommended 8 glasses of water this day!

Each Thursday, here in Jinan a group of English teachers meet for prayer. A diverse group indeed that includes a Russian man - here teaching English of all things! WOW - what a Father we have sending out His laborers. Afterwards, dinner - and with 11 people you can guess there were 11 different opinions on where to go for dinner. In typical fashion I made a recommendation - "why don't we just go have some Chinese food?" they laughed got the show on the road and we headed through thick and thin fog towards well... a Chinese restaurant.

Delicious - yes, and no it is really not like American Chinese food - although it is still very distinctly Chinese (lots of soy, vinegar and garlic. Fish comes with head, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, dumplings that I mentioned to the Russian and his daughter are very similar to "pelmini" nothing too weird (locust, scorpions and snake not ordered this time) and very filling.

That's it for this evening. Continue to pray for the fog to lift as both today and tomorrow's performances have been cancelled due to lack ....
stuff

Our plans are still to leave on Saturday for the orphanage in Taian (where I have been for the last 4 years) the children are very excited to see me again - and much has been purchased for gifts through generous donations of the P's and other English teachers here.

Pray hard, beseech the Lord of the Harvest and feel free to email me as I cannot read the posts to the blog (red zone you know)

Live from China
alive for Him
