Day 6- Sunday

Today we visited a church that some friends attend. It was a very typical service complete with a bluegrass band- no kidding. There are some college students here from Kentucky who are teaching bluegrass music to Taiwanese. The usual music guy was gone and so they filled in. It was pretty funny watching a bunch of asians stomp their feet and clap their hands to Hank Williams' "I Saw The Light." You think I am making this up but I couldn't if I tried.

Childcare at the church was not available for Ava's age, so I was not able to stay in the service for the sermon but Jeff said it was good and in English. Next week we will try a Baptist Church with an English service and then we will probably get connected with a Chinese church that we can attend at least a couple times a month.

We also listened to our home church's sermon from last week after we got home today. Isn't the internet grand?

Yesterday, we went furniture and appliance shopping and met a really friendly cab driver. We also ate at Chili's for lunch. Yum, yum. Life is tough.

The girls are still battling jetlag. Ava was up at 3:30am and Chloe was up at 4:30am. Please remember their adjustment during your quiet time. Also, remember us that our crate will arrive shortly and we will be able to get settled in to our new apartment quickly and on the budget that we have allotted.

I think tomorrow we are going to go to Ikea (It's like the Wal-Mart of furniture- they have everything you could want, it comes in a box and it's cheap). Wednesday we should be enrolling in language school which will help us begin to meet people.

I'll start posting more pics soon. I keep forgetting to bring my camera when we go places. We do not yet have a car, so we walk or take the train. After remembering diapers, wipes, bottles, shoes, extra clothes for accidents, stroller, map, Chinese phrasebook, subway card, Chloe and Ava, money and keys- the camera usually gets forgotten.
