There are not many pictures for this week - I brought the camera with me but it was out of battery. Our week wasn't too eventful. David's reader Hongyu wanted to buy David's car. So they spent Thursday night at Sam's parking lot practicing driving the manual car. Friday night we stopped by Michelle and Tim's clarinet/piano recital for a little while. We loved the music they played. Unfortunately we couldn't stay since Emily's bedtime was approaching. As the result, we missed our community pool party too. Saturday we inspected our car and had the church directory picture taken. Sunday David's reader Joey invited us and Johnny to his apartment for lunch. Joey bought his dining table and chairs the day before in order for us to sit and eat. Emily loved the stairs to Joey's apartment. She giggled all the way down the stairs. Sunday's sermon was full of good tips on personal evangelism. Three persons were baptized during the early service. Paul baptized an old man who was supposed to get married on Sunday afternoon. Sadly his bride-to-be (who had led him to baptism) passed away just three days ago unexpectedly. So the baptism brought lots of tears to many people. This old man came to FriendSpeak Sunday afternoon.
This week is the China's Independance holiday (October 1st). Everyone in China has 10 days off (including the weekend). It's also the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival (the equivalent of Thanksgiving for American). So there were many Chinese celebrations around the Chinese community here. Jerry and his mom came to visit us on Wednesday and brought some food. We also had the Mooncakes that Joey bought us. Yummy!
This is the only photo I got for this week: having lunch at Joey's apartment (We used the self-timer. Wished my chair didn't block Emily from the camera)
