Mission Journal Day 7

Drew and I woke up and opened the curtain of our room to see the sky completely covered by the clouds. But, the sun was actually shining its rays through the clouds in one area. This symbolized the Lord's continued work within China despite the darkness that we see all around.

Jen, Craig, and Roxie went with us up Learn Gum San, a hill that overlooks Hoi Ping. It was wonderful to climb to the top. We reached a 4 or 5 story pagoda on which we climbed to the top. We spent some time praying and singing up there. It was very beautiful to see the whole city.

We all then went to a "westernized" restaurant where we had some interesting American foods including water buffalo, ostrich (tastes like pork sausage), and kangaroo (more beef-like). It was a pretty good meal as they had some great spaghetti. We stopped by the hotel for a bit and took a quick nap.

After our nap, we went to to Soaring Glory to tour Doug's factory. It was very interesting to see the actual factory. The whole place was clean which I would expect of a Christian businessman. Doug's associate Tap Kwan showed up from Hong Kong and talked to us for a long time about how successful he was. Afterwards, we went to another hotel where we had a nice meal of traditional Chinese. Of course we were quite satisfied after the meal so we came back to the hotel, hung out in the rooms, and then hit the hay.
