i didn't realize until years later that Pater Beatus had given me a more important gift, a precious lesson that, would last a lifttime. in his patience with a primitive water wheel, in his enlightened obedience to the monastic rules, he was simply making the most of everything that came his way. he neither fought the unpredictable currents of existence nor was defeated by them. His genius lay in adapting to prevailing conditions.

Today,it was Sept 12th,2009.It was a really sunny day.
SMIC High School students,Thanksgiving church volunteers and leaders,and MFMC Team(teddy,desiree,Lily,Susan),all of us were almost 40 people.we went to a orphans school at Pudong area in Shanghai.
The Elementary School address is #3 Lane 19 Qing Tong Lu, PuDong New Area.It took us one hour to get there.
i thought the Elementary School is really nice.
and some kids were waiting for us,they were watching us at the second floor.they were so cute.
SMIC HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS and the members of Thanksgiving church ,they have been there before.they were very professinal and friendly.they went upstairs quickly.then the girls began to play with the kids.
It was the first time for MFMC Team to come here to look after orphans.and Susan,LILY and Desire,probably they were girls.they aslo could be involved into the kids very quickly.they were really sweet and merciful.
but i was a little bit nervous.and i didn't know what could i do.so i just walked around the whole school.and i found some interesting stuff,likes dog,beds,toothbrush....
after 15 minutes,one teacher asked me for a help. 14 kids need to be injected asap.and she brought a boy named ER MAO to me .ER Mao got a brain disease.so he couldn't walk very well.so i had to carry him to everywhere all the time.and i loved him so much.because he smiled a lot!
and i thought ER MAO he would be a explorer.he was curious about the things in my bag so much.especially my camera and e dictionary.
and a little girl named ANAN sat in front of us.she was so nice and cute.her smile really washed my heart.
when we arrived at small hospital.every kid would get vaccination one by one.and 14 kids,only 4 kids cried .my boy ER MAO was a boy who was crying loudly.but when we was back home.he smiled again.and he research my e dictionary again.the kid was so amazing,sometimes i couldn't understand them very well.but i love them!
when i was writing this blog,ANAN'S face always run into my mind.i thought i was touched by this little girl.in fact ,she changed me to be a more godly man.sometimes,i will lost my balance.i can't control my desire and ambition.i will buy something it is not necessary .and i like to show off to other people.i will complaint about that my parents can't earn a lot of money to give me a cool life as my roomates.when i saw some young guys driving a bmw,porche or other sports cars,i lost my mind,i was complainting again.i thought life is not fair.
ANAN CAN'T see anything,but i can see what god do in her by her face.she was not blind in her heart.
i was blind!i was lost!i was so wrong! i FORGOT THE TRUTH!
THANKS ANAN! LET ME REMIND SOME WORDS.
no eye has seen,no ear has heard,no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.
I HOPE MORE AND MORE PEOPLE WILL BEGIN TO CARE FOR ORPHANS IN THIS WORLD.THEY ARE INNOCENT.THEY NEED BE LOVED.
GOOD NEWS IS THAT WHEN WE LEFT THE SCHOOL.WE SAW ANTHOR SMALL GROUP VOLUNTEER WERE COMING........
Yesterday,it is sept 9th,I went to fudan university and tongji university.
my purpose to fudan university is to meet a leader who has a volunteer team for bejing opera.i talked with her about our EV.and she and i will do more projects for chinese traditional arts in shanghai.and we will put our blogs,photos,videos about our activities on EV soon.the leader's name is RAIN FAN.SHE is a sophmore student major in biology science at the fudan university.
then at the fudan university,i met another two students,one is ZHOUXIAOYIN,i want to invite her to my MFMC team.she is one of my close friend.she can give me a lot of good advices for my team.
the other is Clarissa who i have met at EV training at this summer holiday.she told me about some students in PESI, they aslo plan to do something for EV.she can help me to connect with them ,so we can work together.and Clarissa aslo know something about EV TRAINING.SO she can help me to make a good EV training for my MFMC team.and Clarissa aslo will be a translator for MFMC.I Think she can really help me and EV.
in the evening i went to tongji university, i wanted to invite my close friend and his friends to join my MFMC TEAM.they are all good designer.
some are good at designing clothes,some are good at designing pics or buildings.any way they can help me spread EV at TONGJI university.
I do like these two universities. i saw a lot of foreign students in the TONGJI university,and i aslo saw a lot of little cats at their campus.it is so nice.
next wednesday,i will go to SHANGHAI university,because i need to invite some students who are good at advertising to join my team,.i need a camera guy ,too.
anyway,i hope i can do some help for EV.
