Still waiting on my letter of hire.

I have been told that the Chinese are notorious procrastinators. This cold be a problem...or maybe it is a sign that I belong there -- Ha!

I am still waiting on my letter of hire; which, i need to apply for my visa. This is more than a little scary. However, I know who is in charge of everything, so there is no need to needlessly worry .

I have enjoyed my time at home with my parents tremendously. However, I am used to working 60+ hours a week; therefore, I am a little bored.

Nevertheless, my sister's last renters helped me out a little bit. They decided to destroy her house, so I've been going over about every day to help get it ready to rent. I've done some drywalling, patching, and spend a good portion of a day cleaning out a fridge that looked like its color was dirt -- inside and out.

Yesterday, I began painting the inside of the house. As I look back at the past several years it is awesome to note how He allowed me to build these abilities so that I could help my sister.

Well, hope with us that all things go well and that they house will be rentable very soon.

Love you all,

James :-)
