After the summer team left, Elizabeth, Ruthie, Carol, and I all stayed at Mr. and Mrs. Mills’ house. They are wonderful;) We cleaned Carol’s new apartment in the mornings and went shopping in the afternoons for Ruthie and me! I bought so many practical things. Then Mrs. Mills found new plates for her house while we were shopping so she gave me her old ones for free! Best price ever;) hahaha!
Hopefully I’ll start tutoring soon so I can earn a little extra money to help pay for all of our crazy shopping excursions! Hahaha;) I’m so excited to get all of my things set up in my new apartment. But for the time being I’m content to live in the Mills’ house. They live in Haikou city and I will live about 30 minutes outside of the city in the country. The college I’ll be teaching for is supplying my apartment fully furnished and gas stove to cook on, electricity, and internet paid for as part of my contract;) So for now I’m relaxing in Mr. and Mrs. Mill’s apartment until the end of the month… life is pretty good right now;)
I’m beginning to really miss being with my family and friends…. But I’m so thankful for my time that I’ve already spent in China. I believe that I’ve learned so many life lessons and that I will continue to grow as the year goes on.
