A Warm Heart Even in the Cold

Hello Everyone! Craig and I are working hard preparing for our final exams this week. This week will be very busy, but we will be finished at Christmas. My mom's package arrived so our house is fully decorated for Christmas. I'll take pictures this week and also take pictures of our Christmas parties this week. They are all so excited about it! My mom got me a Christmas tree cookie cutter so now they can all decorate their own Christmas tree! Thanks Mom! We even found a fake Christmas tree here! When we were buying our Christmas tree, I had a 3 year old little Chinese boy warm my heart like butter. He reached up his chubby little arms for me to pick him up. The kids here never do that, most of the time they are terrified of me. I am like a creature from another planet to them. This one was the cutest one ever. After I handed him to his mom, he said xie xie (which means thank you). It just made my day!
All of our groups have been going great! We are going to miss all of them during the break! I will let you know at the end of the week how all of our parties went and show pictures. I hope you are all remembering the reason for the season! We miss you!
