Everything is okay here in BJ

It's been a long while since I have posted. All of you are aware of the big earthquake that happened in Sichuan Province a few weeks back. We felt it a little bit here in Beijing. However, there wasn't any damage. For those of you in the US, that would equate to people in the Midwest feeling a quake that happened in California. It was pretty strong!

It's been great to hear about the stories of how people here are pouring out their hearts and wallets. It reminds me of the time of 911 in the US when people pulled together and really gave generously. Out of all the hurt and heartache many people are learning what it means to give. The earthquake is obviously a bad thing that happened but I feel it is also helping build those of us here a heart again of giving and thinking of those around us.
