Day 26
David had to teach today to make up for the
Mid-Autumn Festival Holiday that we just enjoyed. A few of the other BYU
teachers had to teach today also, but there were 7 of us that were lucky and
didn’t have to. I went to Church
alone. Rode the bus by myself and
remembered the stops and I was actually early because we found a new bus route
to take and it only takes 45 minutes to get to Church now!
A first for the CCID Branch happened
today! We had a baby blessing in
Church! They have not done that before
and I’m not sure it the other Priesthood holders were actually in the room with
the father or if it was a virtual as it seemed to us, but it was
wonderful. I had this thought come to me
as it was going on and I was feeling the strength of the Priesthood, “Even
though we are separated by distance in our Branch, we are all under the umbrella
of the Holy Ghost. It reaches out and
touches our hearts.”
David was able to make it to the potluck
dinner afterward and we enjoyed the fellowship there. We went to the Clarke’s apartment with them
and they gave us an extra fan that they had.
We have been sweltering with the heat and humidity here. The AC does not work very well in our
apartment. It is only in the living room
and doesn’t reach into the bedroom. I
think we will be able to sleep better now.
As I was preparing the green beans for our
potluck today, I had the presence of mind to take a picture of the green beans
that we have here in China. They are
about 18 inches long! They look strange,
but taste almost as good as the ones from our garden at home. We have missed our garden.

We grew beans that look like that in our garden this year. They are called asparagus beans.
Mary, where did you get the seeds for this asparagus beans?
Sorry, I was accidentally signed in as my son, if you are wondering where that last comment came from. I buy seed at Walmart or Lowes or the like. I don't remember exactly where these came from.
