gary hopwood was one of my own youth pastors (from ward presby church, in livonia, mi) in the late 70s. gary and his wife lissa have lived and worked in beijing for 7 years. we were able to sit down for a two-hour coffee today. i haven’t seen him for decades, so what a kick to reconnect in china.
and a little cross-cultural fun. i got a couple scoops at baskin robbins today. i’m not sure what “chol cookie crackie” is, but it’s probably not what it sounds like.
Looks like crazy fun, Marko. You’ll need to hit up a KFC at least once, right?
didn’t make it to a KFC, but they’re more common here than mcdonald’s.
Hello to the Hopwoods from Michigan.
Great to reconnect (our first Ward Youth -Far East get together) and hear how the Father has been working in and through you, Marko! Also a lot of fun to see pictures and hear about Jeannie, Liesl and Max! You’re blessed!
你 快 回 来！Come back soon! … and bring your family!
A lot of creativity, intensity and fun in this combination!
