I just spent an evening with the China team. This was our first time together as a full group. We've been meeting for the last few months, but the is the first time all of us managed to be together at the same time. It's quite an interesting group. We all went to Buller's apartment and watched Rush Hour 2. Now, I'm not sure why someone thought Rush Hour 2 was an appropriate movie to watch for exposure to Chinese culture. Isaiah Koh was also there.
Some of you may know some of the others that will be going on the trip. A good portion of those who read this probably think a few of them are rather unusual individuals. I would be lying if I said that I didn't share some of the same thoughts. However, after spending time with these guys, they have managed to change my original opinions of many of them.
They most definitely have their quirks, but every single person on the team desires to serve the Lord. I believe that team was pulled together by God. The team consists of multiple different personality types, a wide variety of majors, and several different perspectives on life. Since the team will be teaching English, I am glad that there will be at least one English major going with them (that's me). The team also has the minimum number of people needed for a team and, finally, more than one female in the group. It amazes me how well the group meshes together considering how different we are from each other.
I can't wait for this summer to get here.
