Judy, Hope and I came from various parts of town to a place further south of Beijing than even Hope had ever been - Our taxi ride in high traffic was well...l-o-n-g! Seems no matter where you go in this city with these people who are hungry for truth...a blessing awaits!
I loved watching Judy connect with this multi-aged group. Elders, parents and young adults who in some cases seemed none too excited to be there.
Slowly through the night the few who seemed reluctant thawed a bit until the young lady with the shawl (yes she was the winner of the gift from the "knitwits") stood at the end with a big smile on her face and gave us warm hugs!
At the end of the evening for these hard working people who all had to work the next day, "Sweetie", the woman in the center said, " We are so blessed to have you all come to teach us. Our children are even more blessed that you come so far to help them learn the things we did not know and could not teach!"
