B-e-a-U-tiful day

*Yesterday I wanted to go home and there's still a part of me that's struggling that won't soon disappear, but that's part of the journey over here. Thanks for hanging in there with me.*

The weather today was beautiful!!!!!!!!!! It was probably only 80 degrees and there was a breeze! There hasn't been a breeze here since they opened the door to the plane. Okay, maybe that's a slight exaggeration, but only slight. It was a gorgeous day.

On another bright note, my kids made circles and hearts with playdough for almost an hour today. That had never happened until this morning. Usually they're all over the place, but today was an answer to pr-yer. Speaking of which, thank you ALL for lifting me up. That's all that's going to get me through this job.

Rachel and I went to the fruit and vegetable market for the first time today. It was really fun. I don't know much Mandarin yet, but it was so much fun to use what I have learned. The fruit is really good here, and cheap. We can walk to the market within ten minutes. Everyone looks at us wherever we go. Rachel compares it to being a celebrity. Not that I know what that feels like, but I imagine it is similar to this. People yell, "Hello!" to us no matter where we are, and are always turning around to look at us. In America it's not odd to see foreigners, but we are quite a spectacle here I guess.

Have I mentioned that I can't read my blog? I'm sorry if I repeat myself.

Until next time, enjoy the breeze at home and the changing leaves. I miss you all.
