Third Letter

Ni hao mei yige ren! Hello everyone!

Well it is week number three, and I must admit, time is certainly paradoxical here. The days feel long and I feel like I've been here forever, yet I can't believe I have already been here 3 weeks. It's a weird feeling but I still love it. Today my district is having a chip party! Bring chips. Eat food. It will be glorious.

District 39A:
Elders Edwards & McKenzie
Elders Hellberg & Forbes
Elders Savage & Black
Sisters Smart, Christensen & Cole

We all get along pretty well and have been getting to know each other better. We are all going to Taichung except Elder Black who is going to Singapore. We leave in 6 weeks! The older district left this morning so we are the next to go. I'm so excited! We have 2 teachers, Wen laoshi and Fan laoshi. My companion Sister Cole has tons of appointments throughout the week. She has knee problems so we have physical therapy 3 times a week, plus she sees a counselor so we have that once or twice a week. Sister Christensen and I have found that we have so much time we are just sitting in waiting rooms. Yes, we study, but our favorite thing to do is meet people!

Random stranger of the week:
We met an 88 year old lady who is chipper as a squirrel. She is brazilian, owns her own business, owns over 100 hats, and flys to europe all the time. She said (imagine thick brazilian accent) "I'm living the dream. I own large house with big nice porch. I sweep it everyday and I've got yard so so far. I don't ever need to do my hair because I have enough hats to wear everyday." Haha she was so hilarious. I hope I'm that enthusiastic about life at age 88.

Welll, we've got another appointment so we must head out. I love you all! Write me heaps of letters.

Love,
Song jiemei
Sister Smart
