I woke up early and watched the news channel of CCTV.
I wept when I saw the sites of quake.
I went for breakfast with Mee Mee and Irene. Xue Wen was waiting for us at the lobby when all of us had taken our breakfast. When we arrived at the church, we met Pastor Ma in the office. Then we went to the classroom. There were about a hundred students in the class. After the introduction, I stayed in the class to observe the training. |
| The students were paying great attention in the class. They took note every now and then. They were keen and enthusiastic in learning. |

| The children were enjoying the painting class with the children of our group. As they spoke the same language, there was not much problem in communication. |

We took our lunch in the air-conditioned office. When I saw
a number of pretty girls bringing our lunch to office, I
followed them to the kitchen.
I saw the students taking simple meal. They were either standing or squatting down and taking their lunch. I recalled when the days I was in Thailand, I sit on the floor with the Thais when taking meals. |

When I was in the village of North-eastern Thailand, I took the same
food with the Thais.
It was once in 1993, we did not have any food for our meal. I saw a bowl of unnamed food. They villagers told me that it was the eggs and ants. I hesitated to take it. The villagers told me it was delicious and I took a little bit. After that, I said it Thai that it was really delicious. The villagers were very happy and asked me to have the whole bowl! |

 |
| It was very sleepy for me in the afternoon. I shifted to the back of the class and I still fell asleep. I then quietly left the class and went around the campus to take pictures. |

The class was dismissed at 4 p.m. Xue Wen took us to visit the place.
When we were visiting the computer room, I saw there were about 30 sets of computers. I was delighted to see it as I was working in the computer field for almost my whole working life. It is now almost compulsory for everyone to know how to use a computer. There were a few posters in the various classrooms. The slogans were very encouraging to me.
There was a slogan on 'Working Hard': |
勤学：
生活的大海，
会有惊涛骇浪，
人生的船 划起智慧和毅力的双桨，
才能破浪向前，
到达希望的彼岸。
| There was a piece of farmland. We saw the field of corn and some other plants. |
| After that, we walked to the nearby Gospel Hospital. Doctor Wang showed us and explained the various department of the hospital. |
 A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit makes one sick, |
 Love goes on forever. |
 On the roof top of the hospital |
 we saw the church far apart |
 A welcome dinner was held |
 for us at the Manor Shen Nong |
 The bed looks so sweet |
 after a day's tired journey |
Do not forget to be kind to strangers,
for some have done this have
entertained angels without realising it.
Hebrews 13 : 2
