Dear
friends, How
are you? Time really flies. I just finished my first
year of study at DTS and will have finished 4 out of the 5 required
Greek classes by August 8th. It is really challenging to take 2 intensive language classes
in Summer but I am glad I already finished one of them and 2 weeks later
the 2nd one would also be done.
Now I can read the New Testament in Greek with help of a lexicon. Nina
and I feel very excited about visiting our friends in California on
August 9th
(all summer classes end on August 8th) and we will spend one week there after
attending a wedding on the 9th.
Please go to My Photo Album Recent section on the left to view some of our most recent photos. During the past semester, I had opportunities to
know some international students from China in UT Dallas.
I've also been
teaching English in
a Chinese Community Center. Nina and I would visit my friends from UT Dallas
and my
English students in our spare time.
Knowing one student means knowing the family members and friends
of the student.
I really enjoy the friendship with them and hope our friendship
would grow and that we can learn from one another.
The least and the best we can share with them is the Gospel, the
Good News that brings hope and love to their lives.
I am
also involved in Bible study in church applying many practical skills I learned in
seminary.
I started keeping a prayer diary and saw one after
another prayer being answered in my prayer diary. This
strengthens my faith in God and would be the best thing I can give to my
kids in the future. As
for Nina, she is grateful to God for her part-time job which
allows her more free time. She also volunteers to
teach English in a Chinese Senior Center.
She enjoys learning to play the guitar very much and has led
singspiration in church fellowship meetings. She
just started teaching some friends playing guitar the past weekend.
She is learning to lead Bible
study in fellowship as well. Since
our moved to Dallas, we have been able to visit Nina's parents in Houston
more often. In March, we also
visited
my mom and brother in Vancouver. It's
been a fulfilling year. We look forward to seeing
some of you in California. May
God bless you and your family. In
the
Lord
