Happy Monday!

What a great way to start the week!

Em and I called my mom last night and her mom this morning for Mother's Day. Yay for technology!

And this morning we also had a special call with our friends Kira, Laura, and Todd. Yay! \/ (that's my victory sign....)

Here's the outline of the day:

- Ride my new bike to class this morning and prepare for a tingxie (Chinese for dictation quiz; the teacher reads off words and we have to write the characters, and sometimes sentences)
- Chinese from 10-12ish
- Lunch
- Study Chinese for a couple hours
- Bike home
- Read for the Cross-cultural Servanthood study we're doing with other foreigners in our complex. It's our last week, and it's been really great. We've been reading a book by Duane Elmer, called Cross-Cultural Servanthood. SO challenging! I plan on blogging about it in the future, so stay tuned.
- Dinner
- At 7:30 tonight our friend Wendy is coming over to tutor us for an hour in Chinese.
- Early bed!!! Full day on Tuesday!

Psalm 71:8
Upon you I have leaned from before my birth;
you are he who took me from my mother's womb;
My praise is continually of you.

Before you even left your mother's womb you needed Him. Walk in the knowledge that today you are in need of God. And praise Him because He cares for you.
