A Little Trip to the Countryside

Hey! Last Sunday Matt and I were invited to eat Sunday lunch with our landlord and his family for Chinese New Year. It was a huge meal where we ate (or were force fed more like it) until we nearly lost it all! The most interesting thing I was given to eat were these 3 pieces of fat that were cut into squares and about a 1/3inch thick. I prayed, "Lord I will put it down if you will keep it down" and He did! We had a great time though and are really excited about the relationship that we have begun to develop with that family.

At lunch the landlord's oldest son, we'll call him Go, asked us if we wanted to go to his wife's house out in the Province with him and eat corn. So we said, "sure, why not!" He then said, "You can follow me on your moto and then come back here whenever you want." That's a great idea except three minor details: 1) It is 35 minutes away by moto 2) We don't have any maps or directions to get back 3) I had been driving a moto for 2 days at this point!

We made it up and back and had a great time! We played some games (which you will see in this video) ate some corn, and played volleyball. It was a great time and hopefully we have begun a relationship with Go that will result in him knowing the One who can truly give him joy and happiness. Hope you enjoy the video, sorry its a little shaky!
