Last night we left Crossroads and headed over to Bethany retreat center where we are living until we fly out Monday morning. The center is located on a little nearby island called Cheng Chau. It really is a lot different from the main part of the city. There are no cars on the island and it has somewhat of a fishing village atmosphere.
This morning I left for a service via. the ferry. Mike and Gen had already gone ahead to meet different friends of theirs. I intended to read and sleep on the hour ride ferry over but ended up having a really good conversation with one of the Bethany staff and Hong Kong m workers. After the service I was really hoping that Carmen's dad would have brought the Microsoft Office software for me that I had asked him about awhile back. I can't get it in Beijing and I really do need it for my studies. He did apologize and said that he would ship it to me in Beijing as soon as he could. I really hope it comes soon.
From the service Bob Jones, Grace, Mike, Gen and myself took the ferry back for the retreat. It was pretty short but helpful. After we got back to our little cottage Grace and the three of us decided to go for a walk. I loved it. After being confined to the busyness and clutter of the city it was great to walk alongside the scenic ocean shore. We ended up walking right around the island and into town where we had some local seafood. Shortly after dinner we said goodbye to Grace who will be away traveling and researching for the next while. Back at the cottage we relaxed and got to bed in good time. Tomorrow we fly back to Beijing.
