My little brother, Chris, is going with his friend whose mom works for Renaissance Academy, a charger school in Lehi. They are taking a group of Chinese-speaking students on a 10 day trip to China. They opened it up to non-Chinese speaking students so Chris is going. They had one more chaperone spot open so I jumped on it and got Josh in there. He was totally floored when I told him that he was going. He kept asking, "Are you sure? Do you want to go instead? Do you really think they will let me go?" It took a couple days to sink in. It would be cool to go to China, but since this is Josh's dream I want him to go. Plus I think Chris would have more fun with Josh than with me hanging around. ;) Good thing that the teacher organizing it is in my brother's ward so they were able to get to her real quick before the spot got filled, and my mom could put in a good word for Josh. I don't think she embellished too much, ha ha!
He leaves on July 20th and comes home the 30th. They get to visit Beijing, Xi An, Guilin and Shanghai. He gets to see the Great Wall, travel the Yangtze River (the longest river in China) and tons more! I am so glad that he gets this opportunity. I made him promise to take lots of pictures. If he doesn't then he is dead meat and I will never send him on another great trip like this again. :)
