September recap

Wk 1: Life in COCM

Sep 8-Attending the baptism service of four brothers and sisters in York!

Wk 2: France missions trip
Sep 12-16-Went with a team of eight people to do outreach for Chinese students in Montpellier, Marseille, and Nice. It was such a blessing to see the small but growing church in Southern France. It was quite amazing that we could do ministry there with the common language of Chinese even though we don't know French.

Wk 3:
Sep 17-20 Bible camp in COCM. Learned how to study the Bible inductively using 10 steps: noticing, interpreting and applying it to our lives. We studied the book of Esther. Met some new friends too.

Sep 21 Officially moved to Bristol but since my housing was not available till the next week, I stayed at a friend's house (thanks to her kind hospitality).

Wk 4: Orientation week and finding my way in this new place.
I went to a lot of church fellowships in my first week at Bristol and quickly learned that a MA in Musicology will be a challenging course because of my lack of knowledge in this field.
Sep 29-Finally moved into my new room/house. I have a Chinese housemate (Wen Wen, whom I already know from COCM), two American housemates (one of whom is my course mate), a Taiwanese housemate studying phd, a Thai housemate, and a Turkish/English housemate.
