Day 49 - February 24

This morning Mike and I headed over to BICF for the Mandarin/English service. I have found the service helpful in my learning of Mandarin. While Mike and I normally join Gen for the second service today we headed out for lunch with Rachael and her husband. Rachael is our small group leader. After that Mike and I relaxed before our small group at two o-clock. Small group was pretty good despite the small turnout. When Mike and I got back to the apartment we were a little irked because Mike lost and I forgot my keys. We were both really tired but it was clear we were not going to get in until Gen got home from shopping. So we headed over to see our friends at hotpot. Mike and I just chilled and talked to the girls. We were also able to get some work done for our studies. I really have enjoyed getting to know our friends at hotpot. Sometimes I feel so frustrated and impatient that I can't learn the language fast enough. There are so many people who I want to talk to but I feel handcuffed. Please kneel and ask that I will remain persistent and patience with my Mandarin. Blessings
