Let the games begin



Check this out!!! The Olympians aren't the only ones that can stand in Tianamen Square in Beijing. Here we are barely a year before the Olympics and it was amazing how excited and proud the chinese were to be hosting the Olympics. They had this giant clock-like thing counting down the days until the start of the games. I know the Chinese government is atrocious, inhumane and unjust, but the people are wonderful and the suggestion of the US boycotting the games would have been a huge blow to the people. I'm glad to see they got their day.

I hope they call me on a mission

I can't believe I haven't shared this completely awesome, wonderful picture we took when we were in Korea (as part of our China trip). It was so wonderful to see these fellows and they were so excited to see us. Only one of the elders was Korean, the rest were Americans.
