Chip mentioned last week how much he misses working with college students. While we value this season of intensive Chinese study, so much of why we love serving in China has to do with building relationships with Chinese students-- something for which we do not have much opportunity or time these days.
Then we got an e-mail asking for help with an English Corner for freshmen English majors at our university, so we jumped on board. Last night we sat at a table and discussed questions about heroes, beauty, gift-giving, and hopes & dreams. The students were surprisingly open and honest for having just met us.
We felt energized by their eagerness and innocence and look forward to the day we return to teaching. In the meantime, the English Corner happens every other Saturday night this spring so we hope to go back again!
