last day...

It's hard to believe things are winding down. Yesterday was the last day with the seminars and the kids. Jeff, Harvey and Reid spent a last day presenting. The participants shared their stories and left encouraged and challenged, with the team leaving humbled and encouraged as well.

Jo, Jen and John spent a last day at the orphanage. The kids and the team were all tired, and most of the kids took a much needed nap in the afternoon. However, that didn't keep them from singing several rounds of "Father Abraham." Actually, Jen and John did the singing while the kids did the actions. Leaving was a little tough, knowing the circumstances that these kids live in, but we're trusting the father to take care of them.

We got to try a traditional Mongolian BBQ with our two interpretors for dinner. The meat was excellent, and we enjoyed getting to know the interpretors better. After that we saw a Chinese acrobat show. The contortions were almost unbelievable to see in person. Even after a year of yoga classes at the YMCA I'm no where near bending like that :)

Today we get to do a little sightseeing with our interpretor before we head home. We'll head out to the Great Wall this morning, then shopping in the afternoon. Ask for natural opportunities with our interpretor and that she'll see our hope.
