An Interesting Beginning...

I have a question for you...

What happens when you put a senior at Texas A&M who will be graduating in 28 days in an extremely boring class at 9:10 in the morning where you learn about "feeding cows"?

You guessed it...a song about our trip to China! I put my "Cabin Cheer" skills to use from the summers at T bar M and changed up "The Brady Bunch" theme song. Enjoy...


Here's a story about Team Nanning
Who was headed to the province of Guangxi
All twelve had hearts to serve, to serve their Father
Re-named: Team Wahaha

Here's a story about Team Yining
Eight who planned to spend their summer in Xinjiang
Unknown to them, their plans were changing
Now they were Team Bu Dong

Till the one day when Team Nanning met Team Yining
As they stopped the bus in Guangzhou from Hong Kong
Their TWO small teams would soon become ONE big team
That's the way they all became Team WaBuDong

Team WaBuDong...Team WaBuDong...

That's the way WE became Team WaBuDong!

The original Team Yining...aka Team BuDong!

Sorry Team Nanning (Team Wahaha)...I didn't have a picture of just you guys.


Here it is....Team WaBuDong...minus our two fearless leaders.

Incase you haven't heard the story...

I was on the original Team Yining. Our plans were to travel to Xinjiang in the northwestern part of China. While we were in route to Hong Kong something happened with the school we were going to be working with, and they were unable to host us. Here we are...in China with nowhere to go. We landed in Hong Kong, bused to Guangzhou and were waiting to make two more connecting flights to Yining, Xinjiang when they broke the news to us. Our team as a whole was completely shocked (at least I know I was). Our ENTIRE summer plans had changed in a matter of moments. At that point, instead of two more flights we boarded a train for about 12 hours. That is another story in and of itself....

I didn't know the reason why all of this was happening at the time, but throughout the summer I began to understand why we were in Nanning and not Yining. Through this huge setback at the very beginning of my time in China, I learned that our Father has everything under control and sees a much bigger picture than I could ever imagine!

Team WaBuDong...you guys are amazing! This summer won't be the same without you!

AND THIS WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING...
