one last day

this is going to be short b/c the internet is slow which means i'm on forever and i'm sick of paying for sitting here.
yesterday we visited a retirement home. 75% of the residents are christian, as are all of the staff. to put this in perspective, all of the residents are over 80 yrs old an the director just turned 70. they have no elevators in the 3 story building, and bathrooms are shared by hallway. this means that these very elderly people walk all over the place! we gave them some $ and learned that they'd been praying for some $ b/c the cost of good fruit is so high that they havent had any for a month.
we've been taking walks everyday which is a great way to (a) burn off a huge breakfast and (b) see some city/do some shopping. it also teaches one to value every moment of this life that you have been given b/c who knows when a car will come careening down the sidewalk and squish you.
this is my last post from china. i will go into more details of what we did and where your donation $ went and get some pix up when i get home.
now it's off for another walk...
best wishes.
