working out the bugs

So we are starting to pack and we are really working on packing as light as possible. Erik even purchased a travel size iron! It is cute and small, lets just hope it is worth its weight. I am having fun making lists and organizing what is necessary and what is neat. We have been hearing back from our two mission partners Lura and Richard Cayton who are already in China. It sounds like they are having fun although they did confirm what was rumored about the heat and humidity. We are looking forward to this trip and are getting really excited!

Only 10 more days to go!

Erik and I are getting very excited. Only 17 more days till we leave for China! We still have some reading and planning to do, but I think that we will be ready for China. We are so blessed to have so many friends and family, and to have been picked to be part of Amity Foundation's Summer English Program (SEP) this year. Erik was ordained this last weekend, and we also found out that our trip has been successfully funded. This has truly been an awesome week. Also we found out that Erik was offered a CPE residency in Portland OR, so he has a job waiting for him when he gets back. We are really excited and will be keeping regular (as possible) posts while we are in China. We are truly thankful to all who made this mission possible for us and there are many to thank, so thank you all so much.
Faithfully Yours,

Kim and Erik Free
