Today was a neat day! We were able to go to a bilingual Chinese Christian church. It is very close by to the White Swan. It was wonderful to be able to be at this church in China worshipping the Lord!
The church was packed!! It looked to be about 400 people in all. We were blessed to be able to find a seat along the wall. Matt, Lisa, Emme, Dave, Ruthie and Mia were there with us as well. They sang songs in Chinese and English. The pastor spoke on putting things before your relationship with God and how that relationship will suffer. After the service, we were able to take with quite a few people. It was so awesome to be there.
After church, we went and had lunch and went back to the room for a rest. After that our group went to the Jade and Pearl market. That was a huge place! There were I think about 4 of 5 levels of stores! We were able to find a few things! After we shopped for awhile, we took a taxi which by the way was much calmer than in Chongqing, back to the hotel. We met several of our families for dinner at the Rose Garden. It is a beautiful place on the Pearl river. The food was wonderful! I tried the pineapple rice. It was steamed rice with shrimp, and crab served in a fresh pineapple. It was very yummy!!! It was also a nice breeze coming off the river. We saw the river boats going up and down the river. They were all lit up.
After dinner, we stopped by and picked up our outfits that we had made. They were beautiful! We also did a little more shopping!
What a wonderful day this was!!!
