Vanessa Liu, our Chinese guest for Christmas, left yesterday, and we miss her so much! As planned, we took her to the Creation Museum in Petersburg, KY last Wed. The exhibits are both comprehensive and impressive, and Vanessa mostly listened, kept her Chinese dictionary at the ready, and seemed to enjoy herself. She saw and heard many things that were new to her. At supper the next day, we had a long discussion about “faith in evolution” vs. faith in Christ, and she restated her commitment to evolutionary beliefs. Those are, we believe, the major impediment to her conversion, since she has been taught them constantly since childhood. The good news is that she now has the other side, presented thoughtfully and respectfully. In addition, she participated in giving and receiving gifts (I got a quill and ink set, for instance), attended many church services, went dancing with us on New Year’s Eve, spent several hours discussing his trip to China with our cousin, John Graham and even did some target practice. As we parted, and some of us were close to tears, she stressed that she wanted us to visit her in China. I hope we can! 🙂
