CHINAS CHINAS EVERYWHERE!!!!

can't believe there's less than 3 weeks left...

woooo gooooo china!!!!

so MISSION TWO has been officially over for more than a week and i'm already on MISSION #3 - it's been good times so far. sometimes a little lonesome cuz i'm doing it on my own apart from the rest of the team but things have been okay. i'm teaching kids english now. they're realy cute and fun to be with and i'm learning lots of mando. so i have no complaints...

this past weekend i got the chance to hang out with the team and i totally forgot how great it was it have them with me to go thru everything... ya no... times to talk and to do devos and to P R A. i actualy forgot what it was like. i missed it so much and it was such a great refreshing weekend. lots of balling (which is great!! - chinas are so surprised that a girl can ball) and lots of hiking (seems like sight-seeing = mountain climbing here) ... all of it was good times... haha... LOTS OF SWEATING IN THE HOT SUN!! woooo.... yeah... all the sweat transfer from picture taking and jus having randos being around cramped in small spaces... haha... oh... a new meaning to NO PERSONAL SPACE. weee..... (there's more to tell about THAT!)

haha...
ppl here are jus super duper friendly. super duper touchy as well.. haha... i mean not in a perverted HSL way.. but in a girl-to-girl and guy-to-guy NON-homosexual way. it's jus total friendly affection that 's just not normal for what i've been raised to be used to in my canadian-ness. too much rando waist grabbing... weird leg/arm stroking... bum grabs (oh dear) ... i think it's jus a joke to us now. haha... i mean i laugh at it. (heh ... heh...yeah... moving on)

but no... it's the truth when i say they are jus wicked cool and soooo hospitable to us. we feel like such spoiled canadian kids who ask for stuff and change our food orders at restaurants CONSTANTLY. it's horrible... but they're so nice to us about it. yeh...

so things have been cool... we're all kinda surprised that the time has gone by so quickly... we're all stil having tons of fun. big props to dr. O for getting med school interview... and J Tran for being mando masta... and of course the ever beautiful lil J.C. for knowing all the rando songs that chinas know (it's honestly a little freaky how many songs this girl knows - but we love her for being that big big girl in a big big world).

so yeah.. this might be one of the last times i'll get to update cuz i don't have internet access at the factory where i'm at right now... so please remember all of us and know that we are also remembering all of you guys.

GO RECON!!!! you guys are amazing... i heard the softball tournie went well yesterday - grace and davin i know you guys are doing a great job leading up the team so keep at it, stay strong, and don't forget to go for siew yeh after practice!! WOO! i'll see you guys when i get back... i'll be there for the playoffs i believe. weeeee...
