White Rice

WEEK 23: 

The more I live in Jilong, the crazier it gets.

The one way streets make it very hard to navigate when I am biking. Luckily, I had a fun experience trying to find my way home when me and my companion got separated. I took a wrong turn while biking. We had to run home, which I thought would be simple. Wrong. The streets are just small enough that it's impossible to Bike against traffic. All I knew was that we lived right next to a 4 story McDonald's. I was able to use some of my Chinese to ask where this McDonald's is. I got home and my companion was worried because he thought I wouldn't know how to get home. So the moral of this story: McDonald's Sundays and chicken nuggets are more then just healthy foods, they are my sense of direction.

Today we were able to go to the beach. There was this hike were we had to climb over large rocks and the view was beautiful (if you have selective vision and not see all the garbage that has collected). We walked around a couple hours. There was only a 14% of rain and of course, it poured. Rained harder than any day in Carlsbad. Keeling does have the nickname rain city. We brought one of our investigators and while it was railing she was saying how I looked really romantic,like in movies. Flirt to convert. This is just one of my many stories of white fever. 

Last Sunday we were able to get 13 investigators to church. To put that into perspective, in ankang the most investigators we got were 2. People in jilong tend to be just a little nicer in keeping there word which is awesome. We also have a large pool of investigators. We are always busy teaching.
