Finally, A comment

Hey guys I’m real sorry that I haven’t updated in a while! What’s been going on with everyone?? Everything’s wonderful! I miss all of y’all Texas friends, Virginia Friends, Close friends, Family, East Asia friends, Everyone else that’s reading this I miss you all! I have a head cold and my sister had a bad stomache virus a couple weeks ago. She’s a lot better now. Thank Mr. G. Christmas is in five days! Yipee!!!! I’m very excited!!!! It’s my favorite part of the year. I’m very sad about not being able to spend it with my family. I love them so much and I will miss them this year. It seems that everyone will be coming here next year for Christmas. I’m very happy about that. This year the real meaning of Christmas will be celebrated more than it has ever been celebrated in my family before. We are trying to keep Santa Clause decorations out of our home. So it’s easier to focus. Snowmen, a Christmas tree and lights are our decorations.
I was listening to a song earlier that I REALLY liked if anyone has wow hits 2005 it’s number 13 on the second disc. :o) I’m sure most of you have heard it! It talks about wanted to tell the world who he is and carrying the truth to the ends of the earth for the sake of His beautiful name. Awesome hugh? At the end it says I know what my life is for. I think that, that song is really cool. I like it a lot. I’m going to collect some pictures and make a slide show with that playing to match the pictures.
My American friend went back to the states for a couple months. She lives in College Station, TEXAS. She is a very sweet girl and she helped me in the transition to this place. She has lived here for nine or eleven years. Every Sunday her, and some other girls including me go out on a bus to a market and eat. After that we would go and eat at McDonalds. Yummy. Tastes just like in the states!
Our helper asked me if I could be her translator when I had American friends and family coming out here. I gladly accepted that. I can’t wait. This language sounds so silly people will drop over dead when they hear me speaking it! I can simply NOT WAIT!!!
Well, I don’t have much more to say. I’ll try to update sonner next time. Love you all and Merry Christmas!!! Sheng Dan Kui Le!

Sorry it's been a while! :o)


Y'all might want to click on this picture to see the details it's a good idea. :o) Hey Guys! Today we went Christmas decoration shopping. There were stores EVERYWHERE Christmas is a big thing here. They love the idea of giving gifts and eating big meals with your family members. They really don’t get it though. :o( There was a fake humongous Santa Clause who was dancing and singing yellow rose of Texas. Ha Ha I love things like that! :o)
We went to this one store and got a nice Christmas tree and a lot of other decoration type things. It was a lot of fun it was a Christmas wonderland! The people there were boxing things up and they were putting little holiday trinkets in bags and stapling them up. Making them look very neat. My dad decided that the people here and us as well get first pick on all the things and then they ship them to America. You know how everything in the states says made in ________. So when you’re buying Christmas decorations, it would be amazing but, I might have touched it because I went through and touched a whole lot of things. :o)
Yesterday, I went to Carre Four with our helper to get some things my mom needed. Carre Four is a humongous Wal- Mart there are two floors one is food and cosmetic type things and the other floor is clothes, kitchen items, school supplies, cleaning items, and anything else you could think of. My helper and I split up and I shopped bymyself in this HUGE place. If there was a Carre Four in America my mom would never let me do that kind of thing. When I was on the top floor doing groceries this lady that had a huge bright orange suit came up to me and said, “try this good good drink(she was a lady that was at a sample stand) it good.” I sipped at it and I wanted to spit it all out it was soooo gross!!! I looked at her and she said, “milk and tang together good good.” I lied and said hao hao and ran off before she could give me another cup. :o) Hao means good or ok. I had some pretty interesting things happen. :o) Drop me a comment if you can! Love y’all!
