Jon: First Day on the Job

Ni hao!!
Hello all! I would like to start by thanking all of you for your continued prayer support. For all of you following this trip, every thing is going great. The food is amazing and everyone is having a blast. The city of Nangchong is "dirty but it is a beautiful dirty." The landscape is amazing and the people are so friendly.
So today was our first day of meeting the students and testing them to find the right class placement. As one of the testers, I met a lot of the students and was amazed at the wide variety of skill that the kids had. After testing all of the kids, we went outside and played some games like capture the flag and red rover. It was at this point that the heat and humidity really hit me. It was all good though.

After the games we all went up to the cafeteria where we ate lunch with the students. I have to say the food is still really good. After lunch the teachers all walked back to the hotel where we had a one hour break... Praise the Lord for AC. We then had a planing time where we got together with all of are other teachers in our class and prepared for the lessons. After dinner we went back to campus and played an A-Z scavenger hunt with the kids. It was a blast. The quote of the day is: "You were for right," made by Katherine. That is pretty much all from here. Please continue to pray for us all and until next time Xie Xie and Zia Jian!
