Moving truck pulls up in seven hours

I think it's time to go to sleep?

Tomorrow morning we load the truck at 6am.

7:30am, a group converges at our apartment, driving two vehicles 7+ hours across the province to our new home.  They wanted to see us off and check out our new neighborhood, which happens to be a beautiful rural destination.

So friends, it may be a few days until we get our bearings (and our internet).  The next time you hear from me I will be writing from a river valley village in the mountains.

counting the graces

thank you Lord

for these hymns playing tonight, indelible grace music

last-night in Changsha bike ride, it was so Changsha -- hot, noisy, everybody out after dark, lights, horns, construction, dusk and bbq

maybe it's not all going to fit in the truck? but we don't worry, it'll work out somehow

praying today with Peng Peng and Wang Ayi, Peng Peng's lunch especially that fish of hers that first welcomed us to this city

fun times with helpful visitors today
