I'm still not comprehending that I will be leaving for China in less than four weeks. It seems so unreal, so foreign, so "dreamy."

I remember watching this movie years ago, thinking that a certain quote defined the draw I feel to China. In the movie, the main character said, "England is my country, but Paris is my home." I felt an immediate kindship with this character. For me, "America is my country, China is my home."

I'm still lacking about half of my support, but a wonderful gift from an old pastor of $500 has put me at the half-way mark. God is good; He will provide.

For all of you that are praying, please continue to pray in the finances and the preparation of hearts in the Land of the Rising Sun.
