Hey Hey Hey! This is Joey Scavuzzo speaking/writing. First of all, we had an amazing day! This morning we visited Tiananmen Square then onto the Forbidden City. Each place we entertained the Chinese people by throwing the frisbee around with each other and some local folk. They were very interested with a saucer like object flying through the air. Andy just about hit someone, luckily they were agile enough to dive out of the way. Before we left Beijing this afternoon, we went bargaining in the Silk Market. Not to be boastful, but our team have become extreme bargainers with the Chinese. When we get back, we'll teach you all how to lower your grocery bill. This evening, after a two hour flight, we made it to our hotel in Sichuan where we will have training for teaching purposes. Hopefully Mark won't fall asleep, he tends to fall asleep with his head in his own lap. I don't understand how he does it...God be with him.
On a more serious note, we have been growing closer together as a team. We've been having great conversations about the differences between our culture and the Chinese's culture. I personally feel that God is preparing our hearts to do His will in the next couple of weeks. We ask that you would pray for us as we continue to strive to be the light that God calls us to be and that we show everyone his love and glory.
Go Rockies!

Natalie, after hanging out with all those guys by yourself, you surely will be inducted into sainthood! It is so great to read your daily updates. Enjoy yourselves while you are doing work for Christ. Protect each other. We continue to pray for your safety and success. We miss you B - but we know that this has been a life long goal of yours - your bucket list should we say! Safe travels and stay away from UFO meat!
