Ni Hao (Hello) from Beijing

Greetings from my internet connection (yeah) from Beijing. We arrived yesterday afternoon for our "cultural experience" in an apartment Pat found online that belongs to a Chinese guy who lives most of the year in San Francisco but is a Canadian resident. Our first events take place today in seeing the US Softball team. I told Caroline now that she's here, the team is complete!!

We do have to move around noon today to another apartment but I would be glad to just stay here. The bad news we have received (but will surely test) is that tickets are scarce and expensive and that its illegal to sell them at the venues. I made a decision to not purchase more at home since they were outrageous...actually ridiculous in price. We'll just have to see. We will see the other venues today, at least from the outside. 

We will have our own church service here today and hope your's tomorrow am will be a time where God speaks to your heart.
