The first week is very busy.
I have 4 classes: Greek 3, Teaching, Preaching, and The Mission of God. Within 3 months in China, not even my Greek, but also my English is gone. Lots of sweet to catch back the Greek.
Need to find a cross-cultural unbeliever to build a relation with and share the Gospel to. Where is such kind of person, I am praying.
Need to write 3 sermons and 2 teaching drafts, and read tons of books.
Need to translate and do some exegesis of Philippians from original language.
*****************************
Then is my regular job to take care of David. We will read, walk, hug, ride, hide and seek, bath, eat and sleep together. A lot of fun.
*****************************
Then comes the real job. From Mon-Fri, clean the Fisher Building every night after 9pm!!!
*****************************
We join a new planting church named Columbia Presbyterian Church and had our first Sunday worship together the last Sunday. Much more exciting!

太忙了,没有时间写很长的博客。于是终于想起为什么有微博了。
这学期要学习4门课, Greek3,Preaching for transformation, teaching for transformation, Mission of God. 3个月过去,希腊文和英文都忘的差不多了。最近很辛苦要复习希腊文。
Emma有3门课,Greek 1, gospels,Hermanutics .
有很多书要读。突然想起,只要把我们的教学大纲里面的参考书目列出来,差不多就有200本必读书了。这是个好主意。
有3篇讲章,2篇教学计划要写。要找一个和我不是一种文化的人传福音(跨文化宣教)。我在这里认识的美国人全部都是基督徒,哪里找得到跨文化宣教的对象呢?祷告中……

日常的工作是带着david玩,读书给他听,抱他,一起吃饭,睡觉,散步,捉迷藏,开车兜风,看日落,喂蚊子,各种欢乐享受的时间。
从今天开始,以后周一到周五,每天晚上9点以后,当David睡觉了,我就去学校打扫教学楼一栋。

我和Emma新加入了一个教会,正在建立的哥伦比亚长老教会(PCA)。上周日是我们第一次礼拜。地点在main Street的一个画廊里面。有美妙的咖啡,儿童主日学和音乐。David居然睡着了。
