It’s off to the Indianapolis airport hotel area within the hour where I’ll be spending the night before heading out at 6 a.m. to begin my long journey back to China.  I will be arriving in Shanghai Tuesday afternoon, quickly changing to a Chengdu flight which will have me flying into Sichuan’s capital city at midnight.  I plan to stay a few days to recuperate before hopping onto the bus (3 1/2 hours’ journey), bound for Luzhou on Saturday.  Sunday will have me back in church before Monday ushers in the new semester with classes starting at 8 a.m.

I’ve had a great visit, with lots of pictures to prove it.  For my Chinese friends and students, here are some family photos for your to enjoy before seeing me again next week.

Happy Valentine’s Day! My older brother, Paul, brought me flowers for Feb. 14th. Very thoughtful!
