We are Blessed!!

Today, we were able to go to the Fellowship. We didn't have our driver so, we opted to take a taxi and it was quite an experience!! Rylan kept going Whoa!! and Yeah on all the turns. We made it safely to church. Attached is what the fellowship looks like. I posted some more pictures on our photo gallery. The place is pretty run down. A lot of it is due to the earthquake, but we are very fortunate to have a place to worship at all. Before this, people were meeting in homes. Now people can meet as a community. As we sang songs, I was reminded of how fortunate we were to even have this place where we can go and worship in freedom. During the music, the leader requested people to shout out words/phrases that reminded them of "G". It was awesome to hear all the different accents literally around the world. All Chinese people can only go to a government rule church or go underground. I am grateful to have this freedom and it saddens me to know that other people are not given the same opportunity. In fact one of the girls that is working for a company that helping us out shared with me the other day that she had never heard of "G" until she got to college. Someone from the states had shared with her and the she walks the road now. I also realized how truly blessed we are back in the states. So many times, people complain about a lesson or are not happy with the music, or who lead VBS, etc..when really they should be counting their blessings for even having the opportunity to learn more about "G" in freedom. We are very blessed!!
