Chinese New Year’s Eve!
February 9, 2013
We caught up with some friends we’ve known for 9 years! It
is such a huge blessing to be able to say that! We even reconnected with our
old Kung Fu teacher! They took us to eat some famous “Over-the-bridge Noodles”
at a local restaurant in town to celebrate the “new year”. We have now celebrated
2 New Year’s Eves this year! So funny. Chris was asked to help out the Business
College. We will know more details soon, hopefully.
We spent our afternoon playing some Star Wars Monopoly with
our coworkers’ son.
Later that evening, we dined together and came back to our
apartment to watch the big television special for New Year’s! Celine Dion came
all the way to the capital of our country to sing the Chinese second national
anthem: My Heart Will Go On!
Fireworks blasted outside our window until about 5:30 in the
morning. We have heard fireworks for the last several days. These people really
know how to celebrate before, during, AND after a holiday!
In this "New Year", we are reminded that, "If anyone is in Chrst, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." 2 Cor. 5:17
