..............CHINA THE BEAUTIFUL!

Above is a picture of some of the local farmland. Yellow rapeseed for cooking oil, wheat, and corn are abundant. A drive through the country is never lacking in beauty. One amazing thing is that practically all of the farming is accomplished by hand. It is rare to see a tractor in the fields.

We are preparing to leave today via train from Lanzhou which is a two hour drive from Linxia. We will be on the train overnight and all day tomorrow. We will spend a couple of nights in Wuhan, home of Hudson Taylor. Then we will board another train for a location near Macao. One night in Macao and then a ferryride to Hong Kong where we will spend two days before departing back to the states. B, D, and G will be traveling with us to HK. There will most likely be a blogblackout until we reach HK. Keep us all in your prayers. Laban
