Fun Weekend

So this week was really great! We had an amazing Chinese church on our hall, and they taught me so much about asian culture.  I learned how to say some things, and to right some semblance of my name in chinese which was pretty awesome.  I also got to talk alot to their chaperones who were around my age, just a little older.  They told me what it was like to study abroad, and said that it was hard, but still really really cool.  Just talking to them was really fun.  
This weekend has been really great.  The left out feelings in the staff are pretty much gone, and I am beginning to love it here, and I feel like its already starting to end.  I'm happy to get back home and see my family and friends and George, but I just feel like just as I'm starting to love it here, it is coming to an end.  
Any way, last night we went to greenville.  I have never really walked about the city, and it was so wonderful.  We went to this amazing park will waterfalls and a suspension bridge, and alot of other really cool stuff.  There was even a play going on.  We ate dinner at a hibachi grill, and I tried sushi for the first time-I had white tune, which is raw white tuna with rice, and it was AMAZING! I loved it.  
Then we walked around the town, and met this street raper who raped while a guy on staff who just happens to be the #2 beat boxer in the world, laid down a beat.  It was all very fun.  One of the staff is going to be a youth pastor at a church there when camp is over, and we got to see his church.  Then on the way home, me and 2 other girls and one guy had some amazing conversation about the amazing things God is doing here, and how beyond awesome it is that He is using us.  
Then this morning meagan sauceman and I went to Clayton and Charie King's house to help set up for the brunch.  Their house is beyond amazing.  There is like 107 acres, and they have about a million bedrooms, no they really only have 5, and its so cool because they built their house so they could have people live with them.  Awesome! 
There is alot more awesome stuff that happened so far, but ill write later...
thanks again for the prayers, and keep them up
seeeeeya
