Day 75 - March 21st

Today it was somewhat of a gloomy and rainy day - pretty fitting when you think about it. Mike and I went to the gym in the morning. I didn't get to finish my workout because the electric breaker that powers the treadmill blew up. Right when I got back from the gym I got a call from Carmen. We kind of have a bit of a different schedule for the rest of our time. Instead of teaching English on Tuesday and Thursday we will now spend two full days with our students on Tuesday and Wednesday. With that being said, we will only have Mandarin class on Monday's and Friday. I think because it was good Friday we didn't have class today. As a result, I spent the afternoon working and reading for my other classes. Mike and I also visited our friends from hot pot in the late afternoon. We had a really amazing home cooked meal - thai green curry. The only downfall was that we were a bit rushed for the good Friday service at 7:30. We ended up taking a taxi to the service. Because it was rush hour it still took us fifteen minutes. Nevertheless, the service was special. We took communion together and sang some songs. I was tearfully moved by the Passion of Christ video and the music that played along with it. After the service we walked back home. Mike and I stopped off again to see our friends from hot pot. Although I was pretty full, they really wanted to treat us to some homemade dumplings. I don't know why but I was pretty clumsy and dropped two of them. Hey I am using chopsticks right. Until next time,
