The Beijing team arrived safely. Everyone was in good spirits and ready for the orientation on Friday. Orientation was long and tiring but we think it helped all of us understand what the Chinese are learning through learning our language. We had fun in the evening singing silly songs and eating ice cream. 
On Saturday, we were able to get our rooms ready. Some of us went into town and explored the area and had dinner there. The rest of us prepared for the coming of the Chinese students. 

Just a few short weeks to go...3 to be exact and our Qiqihar team will be heading to Beijing! We will meet up with the two first session teams to Tour and fellowship with each other, then on to Qiqihar! Woo Hoo, we are all getting so excited and are hoping you all are ready to show us your support!

A 2018 XIn Fuxue camp participant second session participant had this to say about camp: 

The trip has challenged me in many different ways. My comfort, my giving out when I missed family.I think because the goal was different for me. This was pouring out to a group of kids I might not see again. It opened my eyes to see children in China differently. I will definitely go home thinking and remembering diligently for a nation I hadn’t before. Thank you for the opportunity.

Tammy – “China, WOW!! It was life changing. I came back a different person; a person with renewed hope... I went with great expectations, and was pleasantly surprised when they were far surpassed in every way, shape, and form.

Bridging the World is all about building relationships through the use of conversational English. Class begins in a somewhat awkward teacher/ student environment with a simple introduction, “Hi, my name is…” and commences with tearful good-byes among dear friends…
