We spent Thanksgiving in Beijing. It was wonderful. Although we did not have "turkey dinner," we were lucky to have several western meals that were delightful. We went to Sizzler and TGIF. We miss SALAD here in China. Our itinerary included the Forbidden City, Tienanmen Square, the Summer Palace, the Temple of Heaven, Olympic Village, the Water Cube, the Bird's Nest and the Great Wall. We tasted Peking Duck and went to an incredible acrobat show. You pretty much cover your eyes the entire time because their feats make you crazy and you wonder if they have any bones in their body the way they twist around. The hotel was delightful. The company was wonderful. Oh, and did I mention bargain shopping....too much fun. Sunday we were able to attend the block of church at a real chapel (in a high rise office building) and the spirit was divine. No pun intended. We arrived back in Qingdao and my suitcase came up missing. Same one that was missing the first day we set foot in Qingdao. I told Terry he is packing in the "unlucky" suitcase next time. They did recover it three days later--I was ecstatic. We are so thankful for our blessings--our beautiful family, the gospel of Jesus Christ, great friends, our experiences in China and especially for each other. Love to all of you.

Beautiful Pictures!!! We are astounded at your travels and experiences. How do you ever fit in any TEACHING :)
We all send our love. Everyone was icing from finger tips to elbows when you called. The gingerbread houses were.....quite good actually, but the boys had a bit of an edge (mainly because theirs remained standing...even with Parker as assistant.)
Love you, Miss you, Praying for you. Mom and 'em.
So, did you see the whole album by clicking on Thanksgiving?
Yes...we saw all those wonderful pictures. Can't believe the sights you are seeing! Tremendous!
Can you teach all bundled up in your class rooms??
And the Ice Festival....Stay warm, but look twice for us.
I L O V E all of these pictures! SO glad you figured out how to link to the album! Nice job!
We love all the bookstore bag pictures! I've got to check and find out the details about that! We'll let you know.
Love hearing these updates! Keep them coming!
We need to figure out when you need bookstore bag photos and send them all to you and see which we should submit and the deadline and rules. I don't know if we're supposed to be in them or what. Anyway, we have a few on the great wall, on the camel ride and at the terra cotta warriors. Love you. Thanks for looking at the blog. I worked hard to finally get it...haha.... Now I need to link all the old ones.
