THE JOURNEY BACK IN DALIAN


Friday morning was pretty much a morning for us to catch up on some rest.  We hit the ground running when we arrived in Dalian from our 25+-hour trip from the states so a little rest was appreciated.

We were very thankful that we could use Skype on our trip.  That was such a huge blessing to be able to call home using that technology.
 
We went to the market and did some pearl shopping on Friday.  After that was over we went to Pizza Hut for lunch.  Let me tell you it was one of the nicest Pizza Huts I have ever been in and the pizza was DELICIOUS!


On Friday evening we met with a group of Chinese students that go to the University for a Thanksgiving get together.  It was so much fun to be able to interact with these students.  Some of their English names that they had given themselves just cracked me up.  There were names like Purple, Spring, etc.  We had Korean food and then we went upstairs and Chris spoke to them about Thanksgiving and the importance of that holiday.  How we would be thankful to God for all He has done.  It was also fun to be able to sing a song about God’s blessings. 
 
After the message was over we had a fun time playing games.  It all started out with BINGO.  They loved that game.  Anita Barnett won one of the games and walked away with a pack of Mentos.  I still not really sure if she cheated or not!  LOL!   We played ping-pong, Uno, cards and another game.  It was so much fun.  After the evening was over we hitched a taxi and went back to our hotel.  We had finished another day of ministry in the beautiful country of China.
