more about bridges

Now that things have calmed down slightly, I will tell a little more about the bridges conference. It was so cool to meet so many new Christians. many of the students were chinese, and the few I talked to seemed to have very similar stories. one students had been here since august, and started going to Chinese church with a friend, and prayed to have Jesus come into his life in
September! another student had been here since May with a similar story, and has been a Christian since July. one girl I walked up to who was by herself later told me, I should do what you are doing. if I see someone by themselves, I should go and say hi to them. I think what you are doing is very good to make people feel welcome. I felt so blessed that this girl, a very new Christian was so excited to start serving and meet others.

Over and over I got to meet people who were volunteering to help out with bridges, or were new Christians, or were just checking out who God is. It was such an amazing time to see so many nations together, and working together.

I feel so blessed that I was able to experience that, and even more excited that this is my job! and I will have many more conference like this in the future.

I am very sad I didn't bring my camera with me, but it seemed like it would be more of a burden on my trip (which in full will last a month and a half) with limited packing space, and not too much time to use my camera, I opted out of bringing it. but fortunately, some pictures from the conference will be posted soon, and I will share soem with you.
