A White Thanksgiving

We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We enjoyed hosting our team plus a few extras, including our FAO (foreign affairs officer), Steve, and his wife, Emma. They are blessings to us and we loved having the opportunity to serve them and spend time with them in good and meaningful conversation. (Side note: Shout out to both of our moms for sending Thanksgiving decorations! 100% of our seasonal decorations have come from them! Thank you!!)


 Last week we held a potluck dinner for our fellow Chinese colleagues. This was a really great time to get to know them better and form deeper relationships. There is very little interaction opportunities for us with the other teachers so this was really helpful. They all loved it and stop us in the whole to say how much they loved it. The concept of potluck is foreign to them and they really loved the concept!



The past few weeks have been rich and full of significant conversations and relationships that have gone deeper. We have so many friends we are asking for...please ask for them with us.

A message Anna received from a student on Thanksgiving...guess we know what we will cover next year in our lesson the week before Thanksgiving!

The snow has been here for about 3 weeks now! Temps are ranging in the single digits and teens Farenheit. We are loving it so far! We'll see how long it takes for that to wear off. :) It sure is beautiful though!
