Friends visiting! (Part One)

Jiang and Kun came to visit us for five days last week. It was such a wonderful blessing and treat to have them here! To have my best friend and her boyfriend here to hang out and spend time with just after I moved here! It was great!

Our friends wanted to go visit the local Three Self Church with us. It was in Min Nan Hua, the local dialect spoken here (click here for wiki page to learn more about it) and then translated into Mandarin

网友！(Online Friend). In China its very common to talk with strangers online and become friends and then meet them. There isn't the same stigma here as there is in the States about it, its also a very common way of 'matchmaking' and online dating.

Our friend Kun who came to visit us had a 网友 here he wanted to meet. She and her husband invited all of us to her home, cooked a big meal, and then found out she is in a similar line of work as David. A few days later she went and toured the factory David works at.

Fresh Steamed shrimp, chicken feet, chicken and carrots, and soup for dinner!

They are so much fun!

Kun's first time to play in the ocean!

She knew I was gonna get her into the water and there was no way of getting out of it!
