Day 2 @ Sweet Spring

Okay, it's official, 3 cold showers in a row!

That might sound like a bad news, but there is a good news in that I am getting used to it and i was already prepared for it. However, there was a really bad news - I forgot to bring my towel to the bathroom. Since the shower is in an outside building, there wasn't any way I could have called for help. I just had to do what I had to do and dried myself with my own t-shirt.

Day 2 was an interesting day. Our schedule was just as packed as day 1 but seemed like the day went by a lot faster than day 1. For our class we were able to review what we've learned the day before and it was great to see some students really paid attention and took notes. It was also good since we are getting to know the students much better the second day.

One thing I learned during this trip is that I really need to loose some weight. On day one, Syd told me that one of the students referred me as "Pon-Gah-Gah" which the literal translation is "Chubby Older Brother." It wasn't a mean reference but it does tell me that I seemed chubby to him. Well, today during our break times, lots of students were doing hula hoops in the court yard. More than one students asked me to join them and told me that I needed to loose some weight. Wait a minute! Am I really that fat? Kids are so innocent so I believe them when they say I am fat. The most hilarious thing was that one girl told me to loose some weight for Syd.... the exact chinese phrase she said was.... "牧師, 你應該為了師母的幸福來減肥了!"

Mosquito bits are hitting most of us, please pray that we can become invisible to them little creatures.
