Pics from the World Cup


Wuhan Stadium at night.

Here are some pictures from the Women's World cup. We had an amazing time. This was the first time I felt famous here in China. We all started to paint our faces in support of China and everyone around us thought that was the greatest thing in the world. They all wanted to take two pictures. The first one was always just us, and the second one was with the Chinese person themself. We had a great time. We think the U.S.A. team is coming to our area sometime soon. We are going to see if we can get tickets for that game. I will let you know if we do.
Everything else is going great. I am going to make a video so I can put that online. So that is something you can look forward to in the next couple of days. But here are some pictures of last nights game.


Go China! They lost 4-0, but it was still fun.

I bought a flag for 20RMB...about $3.

Outside of the stadium. It was a mad-house.
Security wasn't that tough. Everyone went through a metal detector...It beeped on EVERYBODY...but they didn't care. They still let everyone inside.

This guy was funny. He was the chant leader.

Game 1. Denmark 3, New Zealand 0.


Flags everywhere.

Game 2. Brazil 4, China 0. I love the huge flag going across the fans in the upper deck. It's hard to see because the stadium was filled with smoke! Yuck.

Cute Kids :)

Random people. They just wanted their picture with a foreigner.

I watched the highlights of the China soccer game on the internet. Even though they lost it looked really exciting. The crowd was really loud! What an awesome experience. Your pictures were really cool! It's so encouraging to hear that you're really having fun and feeling like you're getting a hang of life in China. That's an answer to pry! ~Becca

Hi Taylor - Don't know if you remember me but I used to attend the Bridge about the same time you and Joseph led the worship team. I'm really good friends with Sharon Barone. She passed this blog site on to me because I've been asking her how you've been doing. I love the happy smiling pictures. I am so proud of you and talk to the Father about you often. What a great calling - look at all those kids that look up to you...take care.
