Gong Xi Fa Cai! And A Happy New Year! 1/1/2017

Phrase of the week: gong xi fa cai(恭喜發財)Means... something like congrats on all the money you are getting!! Because that's what they do for the new year. They give out red packages with money!


Wow you all hit the jackpot this week- I sent four photos because my companion is actually very good at uploading photos haha. I'm a moocher! So here are some pics from the week of me being my goofy self. Also we woke up at 5 this morning so we could eat breakfast with this beautiful family that lives in the boonies, about a 40 minute bike ride. Worth it. 
Story time: This beautiful mom and daughter we visited this morning. Lin Zi Ling. She is the FUNNIEST person and I absolutely adore her. She is a wonderful mother. We discussed phone addictions this morning while her daughter was scrolling her phone the whole time haha. She met missionaries before in her life, and wasn't converted until November because she just wasn't ready. She constantly reminds us though we get rejected a bunch, 天父loves everyone and cares so much. She makes me so incredibly happy. 

Short version: It has been a whole year since I emailed you all! 

Long Version: Happy new year everyone!!! We had fun waking up at midnight to a window full of fireworks coming from every direction. So fun! Felt like it was world war 3 outside our window. 

Love you lots- jia you nimen!!!
