Yesterday was a pretty fun day. In the morning, instead of actually serving we did an activity that was called Ethnic Plunge. We headed out to Chinatown where we learned a lot about the Chinese culture. Lucky for the group, Jasmine and I were able to translate for the group when we came across people who could speak Mandarin. It was pretty neat. Also, one group bought pastries from a pastry shop which were really good. And my group went to various stores. In a bakery, I bought a bun called a cha-sha-bow which was filled with barbeque pork. In another shop, AJ and Gary bought swords. After much persuasion, I bought one too. Then we went back and ate lunch.

Early this week Kelly and Erin found a huge roll of saran wrap. So last night I brushed my teeth as normal and as I walked up the stairs and into the bedroom and looked at my bed, something wasn’t right. My bed was covered in this saran wrap!!!!!!!!! I decided to jump onto this huge pile of wrap which was so much fun. As the fun winded down we all had to go to bed and take down the saran wrap. It became a lot harder when I figured out that the girls had wrap the saran wrap all the way around my air mattress, and so we had to pull the whole load off and dispose it downstairs. Good laughs, great fun!!!

This morning as I was getting ready to type out our awesome night of birthday parties and saran wrapping beds, Philip and Courtney came to breakfast and took the computer away because they think that I do not have proper grammar which is correct, but what every Courtney just typed was correct. I just wanted to add that they take forever to brush there teeth and that Mindy and Courtney’s parents should be proud because they brush there teeth right. That’s all.
