Moving into my dorm!!!

I'm moving from a double-room to single-room!!!!!
CELEBRATION!!!!
Finally, have a room by myself in my third year of college, I'm satisfied!
The room wasn't too big, so have to hide many things in the closet or under my bed, oh well, no complain!
(shown my dad the picture, he was speechless~)
Well, at least it is good for now, gonna make this place more 'home'~

Ciao, Milano!

Yeap, we were having our debrief at Milan before returning to the US, can't get over with it~
Never would imagine I will randomly visit Italy out of nowhere, without planning for it. 
Well, we spent 3 full days there, but some of my teammates chosen to stay and rest in the hotel,  
some chosen to travel downtown, some chosen to walk around the hotel and tried to discover the town. 
On the first day, some of us went downtown together, but it is always hard to travel in a big group, while everyone doesn't know what they want to see or eat. 
So, it was a struggle, managed to visit the big famous church, had some Italian pasta and bread, 
had some coffee time in downtown, stopped by and watched the street performance.
Still, we had a good time! 



On the second day, Anna and I decided to have some time for ourselves, Anna is my teammate that we bond our friendship while we were on the mission trip, 
we found out we both love food, straight forward, like a simple and free schedule, love having quiet time, enjoy journaling together.
So, we decided to have a lil date for ourselves! 
I plan and she follows. 
Let me show you our FUN day!!!!
1st, enjoy the free breakfast in the hotel!!!
look at all the healthy food~~~ yum yum yum!!
 Then, we took the subway and travel to downtown, walk around and look for a place for lunch, yes, lunch~
Found this Italian restaurant, decided to give it a try, ordered a traditional pizza and the salmon avocado.
Sounds interesting, but never try never know!
And you can tell by just looking at our pictures~~~~
After lunch, we went to a coffee shop and have some quiet time and journaling time.
Chill time~~~~  
We also both wrote a postcard, and mail them out~ 
Then, continue to walk around the city and enjoy its beauty.
*tourist pictures~~~* 
But actually, we are looking for this cute and famous pastry place, it is the most traditional pastry shop!!!
Definitely has to try the famous TIRAMISU!!!!
my favorite!!!
After dessert, we continue to walk around and get our last treat before saying goodbye to this beautiful town. 
Yeap, gelato!!!! Satisfied!!

Went back to the hotel after this whole FUN day with Anna, we both enjoyed and loved this day so much!!!
Best travel partner!!!

On the third day, we continue to have our debrief in the morning, and then pray for the world before we depart to the airport!

Saying 'yes' to God's plan!

Put your 'yes' on the table and let God put it on the map. - Ed Stetzer

This past summer was a blast (as usual)!!! The team and I survived on the other side of the globe under 28-33 celsius while enjoyed Masala Chai, Naan, butter chicken, dosa and other crazier spicy food!

Leave your comfort zone, learn to be humble, and go explore!

除了感恩,还是感恩

上帝的恩典够我用,在芝加哥过得虽然战战兢兢,但是还是充足。
不仅有地方住,还有那么好的房东,还真的是一种祝福。

明天要离开了,我答应房东会回去和他们一起吃晚餐,和Nova最后的一聚。
晚餐十分的丰盛,房东说是家常菜,八道菜叫家常菜?!
和他们一家一同聊天,一起合照,享受在这里的最后一个晚上。

我会想念他们的~

在芝加哥的最后一个星期日了,
会想念这里的食物,会想念这里的奶茶,会想念这里的生活,会想念这里的夏天,会想念这里热情的人们
沙龙牧师说:我们无需和你道别,因为知道你很快会再回来~
哈哈哈,我喜欢这自信~

我想我会想念他们的~

与自己的约会

在芝加哥的最后一天,决定给自己一个约会。
早上到我喜欢的咖啡厅享用早餐,
到公园去写笔记,拍照,到不同的店去逛逛,
傍晚在著名的汉堡店点了薯条和巧克力奶昔,然后在露天广场听免费的交响乐
在进入备战状态前好好享受,是应该的~
