We have arrived!

Sorry it has been so long. We have been having internet problems and trouble accessing this website. We have arrived in Enshi! We arrived in Wuhan and stayed there for 5 days and then had a 14 hour van ride through the mountains. The views were incredible! We arrived in Enshi last Monday night. Our city has around 400,000 people. It is a very different experience here and we are still adjusting. The city is a large city and has many places including two large supermarkets, but sadly there is not a McDonalds or KFC(if you can figure any way to get us a cheeseburge we will be greatful ha ha).
Craig and I started our classes this morning. We both enjoy it very much. We have already met so many people that have such kind hearts and want to help us. We look forward to building stronger relationships with them.
Being here, you are always the center of attention which can be a little overwhelming. Here are a few humorous examples. I had a little boy run up to me and said UH-OH like something was wrong with me. It was cute. Most of the kids have never seen foreigners so most are very curious. Craig was trying to find a pair of farmer shoes here at a street market, but a size 44 is very large here and hard to come by. We had a group of old Chinese women following us down the street helping us to find shoes. Most of the time when you are shopping, there is always a crowd watching to see what you buy.
We will let you know when we get our picture website set up so you can see the scenery and people here.
We would love to hear from you on our email!
Thanks you! We will do our best to keep you updated on our adventures!
