Drew and Matt, our bearded men there, have been facilitating this group studying Genesis every weekend. We all had lunch at our place on Saturday. The personalities in this cohesive group are eclectic, ranging from housewife beauty to obsessive compulsive socially-misfit guy to doctor dad to cute newlywed couple. The discussion is earnest, thoughtful, steady. Drew and Matt like teaching Genesis together, especially the the first few chapters which are foundational for understanding the world and the human heart and all relationships, this isn't how it was supposed to be...
Side note. When we have groups like this, just ten or fifteen people, our apartment starts to feel cramped. Maximum capacity in the kitchen is three bodies. In the dining area, some stood to eat because we don't have enough chairs! Ha. Well. Good thing Chinese prefer a gathering that's lively and bursting (热闹). Maybe someday we'll move into a space with more potential to host a crowd. We're too small to host our Family meetings or moms' & kids' playgroup. Plus, some people are kinda turned off by the hike up stairs to the sixth floor. For now though, our colorful cozy dinky tower dwelling is just fine. Drew and I love our home. (I think it's 950 sq. ft. including the 3-season porch.)
