Finding Him In Hong Kong

3 flights and more than 24 hours later, jet-lagged and hungry and bearing the brunt of a viral infection, I finally arrived in Hong Kong. My ears actually haven't popped yet, so I basically can't hear out of my ears. Muffled sounds fill my day. And I'm so congested I need two boxes of tissues on my bedside table. Two weeks of traveling in northern Europe was absolutely amazing, but a pesky virus probably found its way to me.

But that ain't gonna stop me from trying to serve God here in Hong Kong!

This week, I'm working at a Christian camp for underserved kids. We are teaching them English through drama, reading, art, and movement (ie dancing!).YWAM (Youth With A Mission) pretty much organized the whole program, and it's so encouraging to hear the stories of YWAMers of why they chose to go serve in Hong Kong, why they took 5 months to 7 years out of their life to just devote their whole selves to the work of reaching out to the lost.

It's also been fun to meet up with some friends from Hong Kong. They've taken us around and showed us hidden gems of the area... Look out for a picture of a chicken heart!!! Which I may or may not have eaten...I'll post more about that later haha.

For now, here are some pictures (selfies) of me and some of the kids!

P.S. hopefully my health can return to normalcy, and if/when it does, I will be so much more appreciative of the ability to hear!!! Don't take hearing for granted!!!
