The 8th Wonder of the World

Today we are in Xian to see the Terracotta Warriors. Xian is about a 2
hour flight from Shanghai and we arrived yesterday. We went to see
the warriors this morning and it really was amazing. The first
building which is pictured below is about 100 yards wide and probably
200 yards long. They have only excavated out and restored a portion of
it but what is done is really phenomenal. Each of the warriors are
life size, unique and completely handmade 2200 years ago!!! There are
horses and chariots as well. This was all made by the emperor of the
time. He had them made and buried around his tomb to protect him in
the afterworld. I wonder how that's working out for him. :).

Happy Easter

We are sitting waiting for church to start so I thought I would post a
picture of the girls in their Easter outfits. We are having a
beautiful day here in Shanghai and really enjoying the spring weather.

Well, happy Easter to you all. I am so grateful to serve the
resurrected and living God. Praise God for the sacrifice Jesus made on
the cross for each of us so that we can have the assurance of eternal
life.

He is risen!!!!
