Day 64-65 - March 10th and 11th

Yesterday the weather was great! I didn't even need to wear a coat. At 9am I went over to work out at the gym. Mike joined me a little later on. I worked on some Mandarin for the rest of the morning before heading over to the office for class. Grace met us a class. She has just gotten back from a research trip in Hong Kong, Philippines and Thailand. We will be sad to see her go this coming Saturday. Actually this week another couple is coming to live with us. After class we headed out for hot pot. Gen didn't come because she was tired and had to finish a paper. The last couple of days or friends have been really tired and overwhelmed with work. It was good to see them smiling a little more. After dinner we did some grocery shopping. In the evening I worked on my Mandarin before getting to bed early.

Today, I woke up at 5:30am. We left the apartment at 7:45am to begin teaching at 9am. Today we spent the full day with our students. They are great and lots of fun. In the morning we sang and reviewed some material. After lunch we broke off into small groups. There are six students in my small group. They are James, Joseph, Will, Ruth, Victoria and Rachael. I really enjoy my group. With that being said, I don't know what I am learning more Mandarin or broken English. By the time we got back at five I was pretty tired. I stopped off briefly to see our friends from hotpot and put the finishing touches on our gift for Mike's birthday tomorrow. After I had a brief nap we all headed our for dinner. I got to be honest the food was pretty bad. After dinner I worked on my summaries for eastern religions. Another day in Him
