Today was my first full day in Hong Kong. I was pretty cold last night. I thought that Hong Kong would have been a lot warmer than Beijing. But really compared to Mike, I slept like a king. Mike hardly slept at all because he didn't have a heater. That is the first thing he wants to get sorted out today. If not I imagine he will be brining his matress and blankets into my room.
Mike and I went for breakfast at McDonald's. I absolutely love the McDonalds egg muffin breakfast. After breakfast we had a team meeting. Every morning from 8:30 o 9:30 the community of hope comes together for a time of singing, kneeling and encouraging. After singing we joined into small groups. We shared about what our Father has been doing in our lives. I was in a group with a lot of kids. I can already say that I really respect the way in which the Crossroad community nurtures and loves all the children, no matter if they are their own or not. One little girl was so cute. She explained how her family had been watching a movie called indescrible where the speaker shared on Genesis 1. That was her favorite memory verse it was like (in her words) "Wow!" Even in a smaller group there were people from many different nations; gathering together in commonality.
For the rest of the morning the four of us had orientation. I took over my computer to IT in hope of a miracle. Every day all the staff and volunteers have lunch together. The food is absolutely amazing. Today we had Indian food. After lunch, Mike and I went worked at one of the warehouses for a couple of hours. While we were busy moving furniture, Grace and Gen were working in the packing department. From the warehouse, Philski (the volunteer cordinator) gave us a tour of the various sites and departments. It is truly amazing how my Father is using this place to bless people from all across the world. Peace
