No Wi-Fi :(

Don't give up on me, people! There is weak wi-fi here in Nanjing. It is SO frustrating! I can't even send an e-mail to my blog to post.  I am using a friend's laptop that is plugged into the wall. There is a lot going on right now that keeps wi-fi down and many things blocked. Jimmy Carter is here in China and there are important meetings going on. China Big Brother is in control!  I have been taking pictures and writing so I promise to post as soon as I can. I might post several entries at once or have to post at a later time.  It is so frustrating to not be able to tell you what is going on here on a daily basis. I am doing well. I am well-feed but a typical day is busy and non-stop. I am tasting EVERYTHING this time around-goose, goat, duck and very different types of veggies. I have been to Shanghai and I'm now in Nanjing and early tomorrow morning, I am off to Xi'an. From there I go to Beijing.  Having no wi-fi means no communication with Josie. I hope to have good signal strength in Beijing but that is several days away. Know I think of my family and friends back home in the USA. Please keep me in your prayers. I think I am finally adjusted to the time. It took several days. I don't get a lot of sleep as my days start very early. Also, traveling a lot is exhausting. There is a lot of time on the bus and traffic moves slow here. It is difficult to sleep on a bus as it is uncomfortable. I am afraid to fall asleep because if I do, someone in the bus next to mine might take a picture of me drooling while we are stopped at a light and then post it online for all of the world to see! No matter what city I am in, the traffic is just unbelievable and there is so much honking! Like it does any good to honk! No one is listening to you honk! They want to get to where they are going along with the other millions.  I can't blog as my drafts haven't been saving on my iPhone so I have a lot of time to think about things and my environment. Must go but I do want to share with you that today I was at Amity Publishing Company in Nanjing where I witnessed the 100 millionth Bible printed for distribution here in China and all over the world. It was a great day. More to come......
Love to you all.
