Going back again!

Yay! I'm going back to East Asia! Woohoo! The Lord is good to provide! I'm so excited about the opportunity to go back. I'll be headed with a group of 8 others back to CQ for a little hot summer fun...and when I say hot, I mean temperatures of over 100 degrees...eww! I'm preparing the details of the trip and it's quite a daunting task, but I can't wait to see how the city and campuses have changed in the last 2 years. Wow, 2 years...I can't believe it's been that long since I've been there. I remember last year waking up from vivid dreams of being back in our apartment in the Huayu, oh the 19th floor haven! It was strange because I remember details that I never thought would get so ingrained in my head and heart. Now at least I know what to expect and don't have these naive presumptions that all I would see is rice, bamboo, pandas, and lots and lots of people...all of which are very much a part of this country and culture, but let's be honest, there's much more to it than that. I'm excited to see old friends and to meet new ones and visit places that were dear to my heart and still are. Well...more to come as we prepare!
