I don't know why I think there has to be a trip or something big before I post. We have been super busy and me a little stressed out. Seems to be no down time. The lessons take so much effort, but the students are so worth it. We taught them about Halloween last week and they had fun. We played some educational games--their teams had to draw a jack-o-lantern by having one person as the artist (who went out of the room during the planning) draw by giving him only instructions in English. They did team creativity trick or treating by coming up with a song, story, poem, skit, dance or whatever dealing with a Halloween creature. Each team member had to participate and speak English. They are do thrilled with every little thing. Little pieces of candy, little decorations, little songs. They thought it was hilarious when I put on a witch's hat and when I lit a little ceramic pumpkin in class they went crazy. Anyway, that was the week at school. We had district conference over the weekend and President Toronto from Beijing was there. Yes, he is John and Carolyn Toronto's cousin. So, we are cousins through a couple marriages or something like that. I can't believe it is Wednesday again and we are half-way through another week. I'm sorry we missed little Spencer's blessing. What a beautiful little boy. The photos we've seen from Halloween back home look great. Keep them coming.

That sounds like so much fun! You guys look so cute! I love your costumes!!! Where did you end up getting them at? The week is really flying by! We will see you on Sunday!
Great new format!!! Love what you are doing with the students. It is easier to learn if you are 'having fun', don't you think!
Hang tough.....You two are examples to all of us! Love you, Mom
Hey Julie! This is late but thank you so much for feeding us dinner on Sunday! We had so much fun. Thanks for taking care of us! Adam and I really want to go on the Island trip but we aren't sure how to get a hold of Marvin Wu. We have a business card with an e-mail and numbers but none of them seem to work. Do you know any way we could contact him? Thanks so much! Are you guys still planning on going? See ya next week!
