So i'm now staying at a friend's home in Macau now for the next few days-- where i was happily surprised to find that Brian from Baotou is staying here too-- then i'll be staying at the dorm for the orientation program on Coloan Island from Tuesday.  China Eastern delivered my luggage last night-- what a blessing that they delivered it to my door here instead of my having to lug it together with everything else from HK!  It's amazing (but not unexpected, this time) how many bounties and blessings are showered on you (plus saying prayers helps, of course, too-- i've NEVER been let down by the "Remover of Difficulties" prayer) when you move to another country to Serve, especially one as important to come to as here!  First off all i saved between HK$200-1500 by not spending the night in a budget to midrange hotel-- the bench at the airport was comfortable enough, as airport benches go. And the girl from the L.A.-Shanghai flight helped me fill out the missing baggage form and let me use her cell phone which enabled me to quickly figure out that all the budget to mid-range places were full, and then having the airline deliver the heavy suitcase to Macau for me was the biggest blessing of all!
