remote lessons

Soon we will board yet another plane and head to our final destination in China: Henan province. Once there, we'll meet again with all of the students and sponsors involved in this year's Chinese Bridge summer camp. After six days of Kung Fu in the mornings and Kung Fu in the afternoons, we'll have a closing ceremony to showcase everything our students have learned in classes in provinces all over the country in the last two weeks, and of course what they have learned from the master at Shaolin temple in Henan.

We're washing clothes and cramming souvenirs and gifts into luggage to get ready for the last leg of our adventure. Students and teachers are hot and tired and ready for a new venue. We're hopeful for a really positive week in Henan, and that students will have made important connections with China, the people, the food, and the language.

Many apologies for limited updates. I have thoughts and stories and photos to share, and will update all that you've missed in between our limited days on the inter net as soon as we're back in the states.

Despite many challenges, we are all safe, and working toegether to finish well. We're all grateful for prayers and support!
