This week was fun! We had a chance
to go out to Mama Jiang's farm. We helped them remove planters to put in a gate
to their house. Jiang Baba (baba means dad or father) suffered a really bad car
accident a long time ago so he cannot walk very well and Jiang Mama broke her
foot a month ago. Jiang mama said the two of them right now are very dangerous
together. haha! They both came out to work with us and Jiang Ma was swinging a
hammer really close to where I was working so I told her I would finish it...
So I wouldn't get taken out with a rusty old hammer. Both Mama and Baba made us
wear hats. They yelled at me if I wouldn't wear it. haha. They don't like the
sun.
On Friday we participated in the JiaYi Christmas parade. We
handed out candy and smiled and waved. Our group of about 20 missionaries
probably had the least preparation but everyone freaked out because there was a
giant group of white people at the end of the parade. It was fun!
Saturday we got to go back and finish the work that we
didn't finish on Wednesday at Mama and Baba Jiang's house. This time we brought reinforcements and a ride
because it is really far to go on a bike. Sister Yu (member who owns the
restaurant) drove us in her van with another member. After work we went and ate
cake and hot chocolate with her. She is the best! If you look closely at the
picture you can see the cool little cakes we had.
This isn't super important and kind of embarrassing, but on Sunday I laid down on my
bed during our companionship study and Elder Cox's punishment was making my bed
with me in it... I was very tired this week haha! I stayed there longer than I
am proud to admit. If you look at the picture, my head is by the window, my
hands are clasped on my chest and my legs are over the side of the bed.
I got my Christmas
package from sweet parents too! Thanks Mom and Dad!
That was pretty much it for this week.
I love you all!
