Peace! Just got in the hotel 30 minutes ago. I only have internet access, but can't access to the blogger from China. A friend of mine in SF is helping me post this. I read this info from a newspaper distributed on the plane. 05/19-21 are the national mourning days for the Wenchuan (epicenter) earthquake. Up until 05/18 2pm (one week after the quake) the death toll is 32,476, wounded: 220,109 05/17, the first international rescue team of 60 post-quake specialists from Japan entered the Wenchuan area. This is the first time China ever received international aid since 1949. 05/18 US Milliatary delivered $700,000 aid, which is greatly appreciated. There are more than $1.2 billion donation from Chinese people to Sichuan province in total so far. Many people volunteer to adopt earthquake orphans. People's heart are really softened! Isa. 19:21-25, Ps. 67, Job 36:15-16 ("But those who suffer He delivers in their suffering; He speaks to them in their affliction.")

Chen lao shi,
I am glad to hear that you arrived safely. I just got to VN last night, too. Phil and I will continue to pray for Dad's guidance for you.
