At the beginning of the week, I was sick and that was not so fun, but thankfully I'm over my little cold! The kids are unbelievably cute! Teaching is a lot harder than I expected, but completely worth it! My favorite time of the day is the 30 minutes when I get to play with the babies, who are 2 years old❤️ the babies I can get to say maybe 2 words at a time but one of them surprised me and said "I want the plate", which was so amazing! I teach 3 classes that are 20 minutes long. We are at the school from 7:30-1 pm, so that gives us lots of time to explore the city and have fun! There is a mall that is a 2 minute walk away with a Starbucks, McDonald's, and a supermarket (where I get yummy junk food). There is a place called the walking street , full of stores and food stands outside, mom you'd love it! Yesterday night everyone from our group went to this Irish pub that's near our apartments ( in China, run by a Canadian!), it was so good to eat American food! Then we went to this really beautiful park, it was so tranquil and nice to just walk around it! Then we found the movie theater! But first we came across a talent showcase near it, it was so cool to watch! There were skits( which was hard to understand since they were in Chinese) but were still funny and interesting to watch, dancing, and really pretty singing! For our church meeting we video conference into sacrament meeting and Sunday school, some of us are planning to one Sunday take a bus to the chapel where it takes place! I'm loving it here in China and wish you all the best!
What an incredible experience you are having!
