God led our way.

On Wednesday night, God led us into this Chinese restaurant. After two nights of Tacos and one night of Pizza, we wanted to eat some Chinese food. When we went in the restaurant, we saw all the waitress are Mexican. Then we notice there is a young girl behind the counter who looked like a Chinese. So we ask her, "Do you speak Chinese?" Then she shoke her head. Okay, so we just sat down at one of the table. The menu was also in Spanish, no Chinese or English. How are we going to order? We were worried. Our teammate, Sam, (the one on the right hand side of the photo) decided to peek in the kitchen and he was brave enough to go in there and called a Chinese cook out. We not just got to eat some good Chinese food that night, we also had a long talk with this Chinese cook about their life in Mexico.

Most of the Chinese who immigrated to Tijuana work in a Chinese restaurant. They work long hours just like cooks in other places, from early in the morning till late at night. They don't really have a social life outside of work, or they don't have time for it. To some people, that's called no life, and that's very sad. From talking to him, we can feel their loneliness. They probably haven't talk to any Chinese visitors for a long time. God has put a burden in our heart to care about these Chinese people and we will certainly follow up with them by mail.

There were two things that we learnt in this experience. The first is, God planned each member of our team to be on this trip. Everyone has their purpose. This trip was organized by a sister in the English ministry, but almost half of us are from the Chinese ministry. If it wasn't for Sam, I don't think we will have anyone brave enough to walk in the kitchen, then we wouldn't be able to care for these Chinese in the restaurant. Also our teammates, Ar Dee and Jonathan, also have a good talk with him.

Another thing is, we believed God has planned this experience along the whole way. The Chinese girl behind the counter actually do speak Chinese. She just don't understand us because we asked her in English. If we spoke Chinese to her in the first place, then we won't end up going into the kitchen looking for this cook, then we wouldn't get a chance to connect with them.
Some people will say this is coincident. I don't care what people thinks, I say this is God's work.
