Only one week left!
I can’t believe that a week from today I’ll be flying back to KY–we were talking the other night about how we feel pretty settled here. There are still so many times when I can’t believe I’m here, because it’s been such an amazing experience. Everyday I get to meet people from all over the world, and it’s crazy how many big wig broadcasters you meet just on the bus!
At my venue (artistic gymnastics), things have been pretty crazy lately because there have been apparatus finals, which have been really intense and tons of press and broadcasters. Even though things are busy, I still get to watch some of the event from great views!
Yesterday I went to the foreigners’ church in Beijing, and it was amazing. It was a mandarin and English service, so that was definitely the first time I’ve sung a praise song in Chinese! They had a guest speaker who won a gold medal in track and field about twenty years ago, and her testimony was incredible. It was a great reminder that God is the one who provides opportunities and we have a responsibility to witness through our love and hard work.
I’m still getting to see a lot of Asbury people, which has been great. There are about 7 of us who have meals together at our venue, and 4 of us work closely together. And then there’s the random hang out, like the other night when I bumped into some friends on the way to my room and we were all starving. So went to this 24 hour noodle place at midnight and decided that it’s like the Waffle House of China.
