- I've been in over 30 airplanes.
- I've driven or flown to/through over 10 States (some 3 or 4 times).
- I've traveled to Canada, the Bahamas, the US, China, Singapore and South Korea.
- I've made hundreds of new friends all over the world including Taiwan, Japan, Germany, all over China, and Africa.
- I've learned new words in a new language.
- I've taught new subjects.
- I've lost 60 lbs (and sadly just maintaining these days).
- I've gained a better world view.
- I've grown in my musicianship.
- I've discovered new foods and drinks that I love and some that I hate.
- I've begun to grasp new customs and a beautiful culture.
- I've realized how little I truly know about a great big God.
It has been an incredible ride this year. I can tell you that this time last year, I had no idea I'd be living in China. Makes me excited for what will happen in 2010. I'm excited to see what God's going to do. How will I be different, changed? How will I impact others? What kind of life will I lead over the next 12 months? How will I allow Him to work in me and through me? It's kind of like a clean slate. Starting fresh. That is a great feeling.

Jen,
I enjoy reading your blog. China never seemed like a country to visit, but you are changing that.
Hopefully your parents can visit you in China.
Glad you had a nice Ch*istmas.
Looking forward to the next blog.
Love,
Ione
I love looking at your pictures on FB, but this is the first I've been to this new blog.
You are living such an adventure! Soak it up! I am envious, I admit.
