Mid-May Updates

It's been a busy month thus far!

I started out the month in a small village a few hours away from me.  We visited families, gave out scholarships, and taught English classes.  It was an awesome experience, and I thank God for the people there!

Some of the scholarship students!

I was also blessed this month to visit a friend who went to college with me and attend her wedding!  She lives in Asia, so it was very easy for me to visit her on her wedding day! I travelled with another university friend from Taiwan, and it was a wonderful (but very short!) trip!

I also had some friends visit me from Hong Kong.  One of them attended MCDH, a school that is connected with the missionaries in HK.  I met her when she took part in the South Dakota exchange program, where she spent 2 weeks figuring out what life was like in South Dakota, the polar opposite of Hong Kong!  We bonded over the mutual love for Spanish, and she is a very fun girl!  She brought a friend with her, and the 3 of us spent the weekend doing everything possible in Macau that is not gambling!  We fit most of it into the weekend.  I think that by the end of this year, I could apply to be a tour guide in Macau, because I seem to be doing it so often! :)

2 friends from HK came to visit! This is at Hac Sa (Black Sand) Beach 

Today we have special visitors.  One is coming all the way from America (St. Louis, to be exact) to see how we are doing here.  There is also a couple from Texas coming to see what happens in this area of Asia!  The others are careers in Hong Kong.  It will be good to see all of them!  

Teaching is going on as normal, and I am having many one on one classes, and many of my students are preparing for their final exams coming up.  The others are adults who are studying English for their work, which is very commendable!

That's all for today, but I hope to put up another update soon!
