China Adventure

My Levy youth group came to see me at Harding today!! 💕 #turnup

LEVY I HAVE MISSED YOU!! ❤ #levycoc #woaini

My year in china has come to an end. I had my last meal in china, my last nights sleep in my apartment, my last train ride, my last walk through campus, my last walk through the streets of Enshi, and my last goodbyes to all of the people I have come to know and love this year. I will see many of them again one day, but many of them I will not. The year was full of struggles and triumphs, missing people and making new friends that I will miss later, my faith being tested and my faith being strengthened, they have all been growing experiences that I am so thankful for! China, it has been a joy and a pleasure. I'll be missing you. #chinalife #enshi #mylast #joy #goodbye #illrememberyouforever (at Wuhan Airport, China)

My Qiqi! My guimi! My friend! My ANGELA! Wo ai ni! 我爱你! Angela I love you and I am so glad we got to be such good friends this year!! I will miss you so much, we need to stay in contact! I hope to see you again one day! I'll see you when you come visit me in America, or when I visit china again, or maybe I'll see you in the clouds when it is all over! I'll love you forever my guimi! ❤❤❤ (at My last day in Enshi ❤)

From the beginning of my year in china to the end. My big china family. 👪 (at Lazy Coffee )

My sweet students threw a "Farewell Party" for me today! Caroline was the hostess; she planned games, activities, a dance by 3 girls and a skit for us! Class 6 is a good one! They showed me so much love❤tonight, I will miss them! #7daysleft #teacherlove (at Hubei Minzu Xue Yuan )

Alice was so surprised that I picked her up... After i put her down she started jumping, saying she was so happy, and hugging me... I guess the other girls thought it was funny too... China life! #famous #ilovethem #illmissyou #mystudents #myschool #mylife (at Hubei Minzu Xue Yuan )

I love going out to dinner with these 2 girls because they "love delicious food!" It has become our tradition for them to come to my house, I trim their bangs, then we go eat delicious food! Before dinner they always say how hungry they are, then we eat, we all start to get full, they say come on (jia you), and they keep eating...and keep eating! I don't know how they do it!! I am gonna miss my dinner dates with Brenda and Jessica! 🍚#chir #eat #mifan #rice #nichirlema? 你吃肉了吗?
