Eating Up Chinese New Year

Hey everyone!
This week brings the new year and with it all the food in the world.
Pear Apple Juice with Mint: This one was pretty darn good. A little
bit minty and fruity, very refreshing, very weird. 3 minty mixes out
of 5.

Fried Nian2gao1: This is a little gelatinous thingy that has red beans
in it and is very sweet which is then battered and fried. As all fried
things, it is delicious. 4 fried fritters out of 5.

Verbatim:
I pulverized it. --Elder Kasparian

Shuai! --little kid, pointing at me as he walked away.

Can i give you something!?! (me to man who is walking along)
Can we give you an X-box? (Elder Kang who is standing beside me) Huh,
he really doesn't want it. That means we can keep it! (still Elder
Kang)

Elder Kasparian (heretofore EK): (with fingers splayed like the letter) V
Man: two
EK: No, V
Man: Three...?
EK: (Now pointing to the man's letterman jacket which has a "v" on
it): No, V. What's your name?
Man: Zhou1
Me: Oh! "Z"!

While knocking:
Lady: Who are you looking for?
EK: People who are willing to listen to the gospel!
Lady: Oh! It's not very convenient right now!
Me (aside to EK): Oops, we must've knocked the wrong person.

Me(To kid at a different door): well can we come back another day?
Kid: Sure
EK: We're really going to come back, you'd better prepare yourself.*

This week was a fun one without too much crazy stuff happening. We did
have a really good meeting with a Shi1 family who are willing to meet
and keep preparing for baptism. We are really excited about them
because it's the first time that either of us have taught a whole
family in a long time (5 transfers for me and something like 6 for
Elder Kasparian). It will be a slower progression, but we have a lot
of hope for them. They live out on this one street way in the
boonies--so far that I could probably almost throw a rock to Danshui
from there. We love them.

I love you all!
