Well, we arrived in China safely and are learning to adapt and survive "China-style". I'm not sure how cold it is but there is ice everywhere. You feel it when you step outside. The homes are nice and toasty though.
Yesterday we had a few inches fall. Hannah and Jack were the first ones out to make snow angels and have snowball fights. As we played we heard many people shoveling the ice off the roads so that cars could travel safely. I thought, "What a great way to show others you care for them." Many hands make a light load. That morning Hannah and I took up a shovel and joined in the ice capades clearing the roads. Nothing like getting your hands dirty (or wet in this case!)
All in all it was a great experience. People stare at us because we look so different... and maybe there is something else.

From one snow angel to another... you go girl... spread those wings and shine that light, all while eating "Dove" chocolates.. you truly are amazing.
We are so happy that you are enjoying yourselves so much. I am sure there is soooo much to learn and to teach. I can't believe all the snow. I am sure that is quite a difference from your weather in Phoenix. You need to share some of it with us. It snows all around us, even just 5 miles away, but we never get it. Hang in there and keep us all posted how life is going in China. We love you all.
