Our First Day of Ministry

Today we spent all day in China Town and served at the Pui Tak center in the heart of china town. We served by teaching english and helping to get the new chinese immigrants assimilated. Then we did a scavenger hunt out of the China Town Plaza. We got to serve with the Pui Tak center doing various ministry projects including physical labor, administrative help, and cleaning. Then we got to have dinner at one of the restaurants in China Town. At night we came back to the church we're staying at and we had a wind-down and debriefing session after the day. Tommorrow we will start helping out working on someone's house and then we will be going to a museum and then beginning DBS at night. Thanks for your continued prayers and support.

Please write to us on our blog too, we would really love to hear from you!

Hi Amy Anderson-
We are glad to hear that you all arrived safely. Are you loving Chicago? Hope so!! We are praying that the weather will cool down a bit and not hinder anyone's health or capabilities to serve others. Keep smiling and keep on making God look good! Hope you have some time to take some photos -- but please do NOT take time to write. We want you soaking in every minute of your time there....the week will go by soooo fast! Peter blogged on Sunday that his head is doing fine and he should get the stitches out on Wednesday.....can't wash his hair yet! We love you sweetie and are praying for you to have a great day!! Lots of love, Dad and Mom
