Life on the Road

Well, I'm back in America, and currently in Grand Rapids sitting alone at a Panera working on my laptop. For those of you who don't know (I'm not even sure if anyone reads this blog), I'm working as a Program Counselor (or recruiter) for ELIC, the organization I went to China with. For the next 2 weeks, my job takes me to colleges, churches, and meetings with people in Grand Rapids and Indianapolis. I'm cramming a lot into the next 2 weeks, but trusting God to help me and to bring me people to talk to about Asia. Yesterday for my FIRST EVER event in this job, I showed up at a college at 7:30 am after being on the road since 4:30 am, and as I walked into a class of half awake freshman, I was told that their professor was out sick and that what was supposed to be a 10 min. talk would now be a 90 min. class period! Yikes! Nothing like winging it on no sleep, eh? Thank God for that free cup of gas station coffee I got earlier! Anyway, I did 3 classes like that yesterday, and set up a display table, and by God's grace, it went well! Now it's time to catch up on some emails and other stuff today. There's much more to say, but I must get to work. I just wanted to actually post something since I've been back in the good ol Mei Guo.
