A Much Needed Break!

Well, our first teaching semester has come to a close.  It is amazing to look back because in some ways it seems like we have been here forever - things feel so normal and comfortable but in other ways it seems like we have just begun and yet here it is, one semester already over.  We miss our students and friends who have returned to their homes, but I must say that this break is much needed.  We literally hit the ground running when we got here.  We took care of paper work, medical checks and unpacking and then began teaching all within a week or two!  Since that time it has been one thing after the next!  So...during this break we look forward to resting a bit, enjoying our kiddos, deepening relationships with those that live around here that won't be traveling for the break, working on our language learning, having quiet moments with our Rock and doing some traveling!  We leave tomorrow for Beijing for 10 days and we are quite excited!  When we return, I plan to share pictures of the whole experience.  We hope you all are well.  You are in our thoughts and prayers.  Thank you for your friendship and love~  Blessings, Tiffany
