Dear Wayne,

I am pleased to tell you that the Bible has now arrived at the hands of its new owner. Attached are the photos I took while I was unwrapping the gift. The Bible was printed in England in 1908, and I believe it was soon sent to Fuzhou, China and used by a Western missionary, who took the Bible with him/her back to the United States. And now, after exactly one century, it's back in Fuzhou. How amazing!

Wayne, what is your mailing address? Is it "P.O. Box 443, Morgan Hill, CA, USA, 95038"? I will send you some time in February a letter that I have promised but postponed for so long.

Please allow me to say thank you again and again for your generosity and love for me, though my excitement and gratitude are really beyond words.

Love from Fuzhou,
George

Dear Wayne,

God has answered our prayer. The Bible has arrived in safety today, but it is now stuck in the post office because the postman insists that I should identify myself and prove that I am the Mr. George Ngu who the mail is addressed to. Anyway, I think it will reach my hands within one or two days, and I'll let you know as soon as I get it.

Your Brother,
George

Dear George,   I just mailed the Bible via US Postal Service First Class Mail, and wanted to let you know.  Now that the holiday season is over, maybe it will not take as long to arrive as the Christmas cards.   I was interested to find that Christmas commercialism has spread to China.  In fact, I was surprised to find out that China is a secular country and that Christmas is recognized by even a small percentage of the population. We here in the U.S. have only a vague idea of life in China, unfortunately, and my mental image is probably representative of most, or at least many, people.   We know China has arrived in the 21st century because our gas prices have risen due to China's increased consumption, but beyond that, our view is vague.  Of course the spectacular and successful Olympic Games in Beijing enlightened us, and the world, about your progress.  I am a big fan of sports, and watched as much coverage of "The Games" on television as was possible.   I'm amazed by your command of English.  I wouldn't know, reading your e-mail, that it is not your native language.   I'm going to sign off for now.   Thank you for your most recent e-mail explaining the Chinese New Year.  And let me know when the Bible arrives.  I'll worry about it until I know it is in safe hands.   Your friend,   Wayne
