last week! preparing for farewell!

we can't view our blog here in China, so we're sorry if there's comments and we haven't replied. although, there might not be any comments, this won't be a problem.



so we've been waiting for internet to show you what we made in the factory. anyways, this isn't exactly what we made but it's close enough. micky and greg molded the top and bottom parts of the pencil together. melody stuck on the yellow buttons. esther and emily stuck the wires into the pencil and placed plastic insulation so doctors don't electricute themselves. greg also stuck those blades into the pencils. so yeah... in the afternoon, we were still making these pencils but we all had different jobs. micky pounded the circuit boards with a metal pounder, emily soldered wires together onto the circuit board, greg did the same job, esther stuck on sterile stickers onto the package and melody packaged electrical pencils into a plastic box, which required winding it correctly. the factory makes about 10,000 of these a day. i'm sure they didn't meet the quota that day. we probably gave quality control a good run for their money.

we are nearly done our time in china. we're running a basketball tournament tomorrow but it has rained EVERY DAY here since we've come. there has not been one day where it didn't rain. so yeah, if you read this, please pray for the rain to hold up tomorrow so we can have more outreach with the workers.

micky was supposed to leave for a new factory this week after we leave, but now he has been offered to stay here for another week. he's not sure what he can do now without us but he might teach lessons one-on-one with girls. (or so he hopes). JUST KIDDING. but yeah, keep him in your prayers and keep praying for us also.
