Here is Kelsey on the left and Monica (my team leader) on the right. I got to spend today with my team. This morning was spent with the Father followed by team discussion and pancakes :).. then we went into town for Christmas shopping, the foreign store which has normal western food that is hard or impossible to find elsewhere (like butter), and to massages. The massage was amazing, 40 yuan which is almost 6 American dollars for an hour. This picture was taken at the Western restaurant after wards... we went for peanut butter milkshakes (another rarity in China). My team is so great, they have given me so much support and encouragement during my time here. Please lift my team up as well when you remember me.

So in this picture from left to right is Kelly (my Chinese teacher and sophmore here), Tannah, Grammar (a new brother :D), Gwendolyn, Sophie, and Jordan.
On Friday some friends and I went out to play pool and eat dinner. As you can see eating at a restaurant in China is different from eating at a restaurant in America. There is a rotating glass thing in the center of the table and you put dishes on it and everyone shares. It's kind of like a personal buffet. Also you don't eat off big plates, you get a little plate, a little bowl, a little cup and then chopsticks... everything is little in China haha. You can also see our little tea pot...
After dinner we all went to watch the Passion.. I feel like the Father is kind of bringing me back to the basics and telling me how much He loves me.
"Greater love has no man than this that someone lay down His life for His friends."

On Thursday I went to another competition, this one was a hosting competition and it was all in Chinese!... My student is on the right, his name is Mark and he won first place! His English is really good.. he could probably teach my class haha.
I also added this picture just so you can see the girl on the left.. her dress is what we call China fab, meaning you would only wear this and look good in China. :D
