Hi, we safely arrived in Xining. The altitude is 8000ft. above sea level. I expected to have headaches, but have had none so far-PTL! Miss you all! Keep doing what you do best. Thanks! See you soon.

Love from Cindy and the Ohio Team-
Safe, LONG travel, wonderful location, great students, fun team- issues with "bigger picture" but we are ready. Sarah is walking the streets and waving at every person in Xining- she is hilarious! Love you all- remember us! No altitude sickness per se, but a lot of weird symptoms- nausea, headaches, insomnia- keep asking for good weather and effective work!

Jason: Hello everyone. Xining is beautiful. The weather is nice. Classes are exciting and encouraging. Please, someone check on Adrianne and help with any needs. Thank you.
Love, Jason and Laura:)

Hello everyone! First day went very well at the school. The students are wonderful and it brings a joy to me, to see their excitement to learn and improvement. Thank you all.
Love ya, Kyle

Hello. Everything went so smooth the first day. Students are so open. Be thinking about doors that will be opening. It was quite awesome, in the last camp I was able to see 3 students in my class come to be "like-minded." Please think about team unity so that we may reach out to the chinese students better.

Mom,
Hey there, I just wanted you to know that I am thinking about you as you are/were home alone with the cat. I am sorry about all the airport runs. Here in Xining my allergies are a but worse here. I have had to use my inhaler once already. Oh well, at least I have it. Please tell Jeremy that I got to see some pictures of the Xi'an camp, and it looked like a TON of fun! Also tell him I got to meet Smile. I love you a ton!
XOXOXOXO,
Tina

P.S. Happy Birthday Kati. Happy Anniversary to Josh and Brenda. Hope Jeremy enjoyed all the hugs from the Guiyang team, (especially from Anna)
