Hi,
Everything is great here. The past week has been tons of fun. We have gotten to know the place a lot better. We have also found out how to ride the packed full buses. There is lots of pretty places around here and many things to do.
Yesterday we went to the temple market and Aundi bought a really cool Mao messenger bag for 3 dollars and we had an awesome meal for a dollar a person. it was these crazy good dumplings and dipping sauce. the best meal we have had here. we then walked over to the city park which is very beautiful. I will post some pictures of it. There are these crazy monkey guys who have these monkeys tied to a rope and have them do flips. It looks like the monkeys have a very cruel life but Aundi gave them some change anyway. I chose not to support monkey torture. It was still something new to see. They have fruit you can buy on every corner, all for about 15 cents. Either fresh strawberries, pineapple, candied crab apples, or fruit shi-kabobs. also cotton candy. It is a lot cheaper than Disneyland but we haven't found any churros or anything like that yet. I don't really trust American hot dogs and definitely not the hot dogs they have on the street corners here.
The park had very pretty walkways and islands. Pictures won't do justice to the beauty of it. we spent most of the afternoon walking around there. they also had a beautiful Art exhibit on display. Most of the paintings where done in water color and I was amazed at what they could do.
We had sacrament service again over at the kindergarten school across the street. it is compose of all 9 teachers. It is really neat. We can never quite last the whole three hours. Me and Steve are the only Priesthood brethren and the Priesthood meetings can get rather boring. They are still very spiritual meetings and are fun because everyone is rather close with one another.
Every thing else is an adveture and we are having a great time every day. This week we will be going to Xi'an wednesday night and be back Sunday night so we can teach on Monday. The weather is a beautiful sunny day. Thanks for reading our blog.
With Regards,
Ted & Aundi
