Yesterday I woke up to my phone ringing...
Me- "...Hello?"
Jeremy- "I-thick...ni zai na li?(Isaac, where are you?)"
Me- "Ummm...upstairs, you want me to come down?"
Jeremy- "Yes."
Me- "Ok."
Well, that is the shortened version. Anyway, I ended up coming down, just to find out that we (Jeremy, Milly, and I) couldn't play basketball because the court was all wet from rain the night before.
Hmm, so, what could we do? I gave the kids a few ideas, and soon, we were on our bikes, riding into Jhongshin Village. We spent a couple of hours around there, just hanging out, talking, quenching our thirst with ice cold 'hong cha'(red tea). Then we headed back to the Yingpan area, where it had dried up a little. Basketball was the game for a while, then the kids had to leave, they were headed to a baseball game...
I love these kids...
There are times when I just wish that I could always be here for the kids. Just to play with them, help them, love them. It doesn't matter if they can't speak English. It doesn't matter that they aren't the best students. I just want to be a true reflection of Jesus to them.
May God give us the vision, the love, to see past others's faults, and to see their true needs. To give them ourselves. And give them Christ.
