Summary & Details:Well, this is it. The last day in Tibet, and the end of the missions trip. What a wonderful, heart warming, eye opening experience. Thank you to all of you, family and friends, for all your prayer and support.
On this last day, we were going to spend the morning with Tyrone, Eddie, Sam, and Burt playing basketball. Burt had the great idea of getting us out on the court. They all got up early to get a ball, but then ran into complications where the ball had no air and we couldn't find another ball or a pump. The poor guys spent 2 hours trying desperately to find a way to play, but it didn't work out. But it ended up that we all cooked together our final meal (which was DELICIOUS) and just hung out. Quality time. Priceless. For me, just living life with these guys was one of my greatest highlights and where I saw/felt God moving the most.
We caught the plane this time to go back to Beijing. We had a 1.5hr drive to the airport, and then a 6 hour plane ride. Once we arrived in Beijing we met with the Beijing Director of the foundation, Dr. Lawrence Ng. We had a wonderful time of sharing and debriefing. Thank you Lawrence for making time for us!

Jason and I reflected quite a bit of our travels on the relatively quick flight home, and with Lawrence. Many lessons learned, many moving experiences, many things to be thankful for...
Now that we're back home, we'd love to share our journey with you and relive a lot of these god-filled moments. Looking forward to catching up with you soon!

PS - We had a lil scare on the plane to Beijing because somebody got sick so they made the last 7 rows of the plane put on masks while the other 50 rows in front of us turned around and took out their cameras and made a circus of it. I thought we'd be quarantined but luckily the sick person was deemed not contagious. And no, Jason or I did not catch anything while out there...we're perfectly healthy, so don't be afraid to approach us! =)
