A Farewell Lunch


A Korean sister in our branch invited us out to lunch one last time before we take off tomorrow. We went out to a really good Korean restaurant with a few friends in the branch. It's been fun to get to spend so much time with friends but hard to say good-bye. On a side note, it's interesting when we all get together because of the communication barriers. Here's a list of languages spoken by each person in order of fluency (I'm not professing any fluency on my part), from left to right: Hyun Young(1-Korean 2-Chinese 3-English) Lynda (1-English) Emily (1-English 2-Chinese) Jennifer (1-Chinese 2-English) Tiffany (1-English 2-French 3-Chinese). It's a hoot because we're always having conversations in at least two languages, and many times the right messages don't get through. It makes for lots of laughs, especially when Tiffany told Hyun Young that she "eats a lot," when she meant to say she "cooks a lot of food often." Good times. We all love it though and wouldn't have it any other way.

PEZ

We're in the process of packing and Chris was going through suitcase pockets. This is what he found:
The significance is that he had these for his entire mission starting in the MTC. He unknowingly carried them with him home, to Taiwan, stored them for a couple years, packed them to Washington, D.C and then to Tianjin, China. That's six years that these PEZ have been with him.

He finally tasted of their goodness.

Bag Tagged

I'm glad this is the first time I've been tagged because most of the time I'd rather not participate. This tag caught me at a good time. Thanks Allie, I'm serious. P.S. I love your bag!!!

1. Show your bag.

2. Show ALL the contents of your bag, NO cleaning it out first!
I'm in the process of packing up to move home from China and had just emptied my bag yesterday. Sorry guys, no dirt on Emily....
