I have had a wonderful last day in China. This morning my depression about leaving China lifted, and I worshipped Papa and read his book. I prayed for Jun Ling to come and asked for Papa to connect Daryl and I too. I realized that only he could connect us. When Jun Ling didn’t come by 11, I went out to give her a call to ask her to come. I really hoped to meet Daryl by noon to eat with him. Jun Ling arrived around 1 o’clock.
She and I briefly talked, and then, off we went for me to catch a bus to meet Daryl. It took about 1 ½ hours to go to the bus station to meet Daryl. Then I had to walk a bit to use a telephone inside at a cell phone shop. The man was super nice to talk with Daryl and let me use his cell phone. (Prior to that, a lady on the street said no because she didn’t understand me.) He also drew me a map, and off I went again by foot and taxi to IKEA to meet Daryl. I am glad that my dear friend took me there in Guangzhou as I knew what to look for this time.
My time with Daryl lasted for about 4 1/2 -5 hours. He wanted me to have dinner with him, Wanda, Wanda’s mom, and other friends; however, I wasn’t able to eat with them because of the transportation issue. Though I’d definitely have enjoyed the dinner and time with him, I am just thankful for the time to talk and be with him! It is quite the gift from my dear Papa! I am very thankful that we were able to catch up on his life and that I could share about my time in Beijing with him. It is cool that I have been to see him each time I’ve been in China! :)
After the ride back, I went to the internet café. I checked my email and was able to look at many pictures from my mom and sister. I will leave in less than 12 hours. What an amazing time I’ve had in China! Thank you my dear Papa for this wonderful summer; it has truly been amazing!!!
Lord, I have seen you be faithful to all you said about this time in China! I have seen you help me greatly with Chinese language (Mandarin, Hakka, and Cantonese). I have seen you grow my faith deeply and am still thankful that you forgave me today for my worries the past 2-3 days. I have seen you open up many doors for me to travel all over China this summer and immensely provide for me! You have taught me so much this summer!!! I love you my true Father!!! May my love for you abound more and more and your love abound in all my life!!!
