It's freezing out here?

These are the four flights of stairs that get us up to the road to walk home from the MRT station! We are getting very good at climbing stairs, now!

Tomorrow, we will have another adventure with Sister Xia and Sister Venables, our sweet Senior missionary from England! We'll have more pictures for you then!
One of our sweet friends, Nancy Swenson, who teaches English in Central Taiwan, but is a BYU student who will be going back for schooling in the Fall. She is from Reno, Nevada and comes up each month to do baptisms for the in the Temple. Very special gal!! She was in Brock and Jordan's ward until they moved to room together before Jord left on his mission! It is really a small world!
I wish I could have taken a front view picture of this elderly lady, gathering plastic bags and cardboard for recycling. Many of the elderly do this - some push or pull very, very large carts, loaded with items that look like they would be too heavy for them to handle!
Because todays temperature was below 80 degrees, this little dog needed a warm doggie shirt! I chased him down the street and finally cornered him by this bush! The Chinese love their pets!

Dear sis and brother Eli, what a joy it is to have you share your mission with us. We are right there with you enjoying the pictures and your experiences among those great people. We love you and keep you in our prayers always! Doing great here. I think spring has finally sprung in Idaho. Your sister Koc
