Last Sunday was a holiday. It was the mountain climbing holiday. The origin for the holiday has a deeper meaning, but it's celebrated now as a vacation time, and for the most part strictly mountain climbing. This weekend since it was on Sunday, there was a make-up holiday for Monday. That doesn't affect me, as my day off is Monday anyway, but it allowed one of my friends to agree to take an overnight trip with me! My roommates, friend, and I went to a nearby city in the mainland to visit some friends and climb a mountain! It was a lot of fun to be able to go outside of Macau and to climb a mountain to see new scenery! I enjoyed the trip, as it was a way for me to discuss many things with my friends--both the one from Macau and a couple who live in the mainland. It occurred to me as we were walking up the mountain that we are all Christians. Besides spending time strictly with coworkers, it's not common that I get to spend time with a group that is all Christian. It was comforting for me to be able to be with my brothers and sisters and to receive encouragement from them that is not only worldly, but grounded in Christ Jesus.
Things we did while we were there: tour the local Christian church, eat good food, see friends, climb a mountain, eat at a revolving restaurant (in a tower), and go shopping!
Thank God for a community of believers, and for a wonderful trip! :)
