Halloween held multiple celebrations this year - school, apartment complex, church and the neighborhood - not bad for an American holiday in China!  The boys are very into superheroes so Ironman and Captain America it was!

Shattered

One evening I got a call from my friend Ashley asking if I could come over and help her. Her son Cole had been cut by the shower glass.  I had no idea what to expect, but grabbed some medical supplies and headed over.  When I got there the entire shower door was shattered!  Her three year old was in the shower and must have pushed on the glass just right to break it. So scary! Miraculously he just had minor cuts.  Angels were watching that baby.

Temple Visit

I attended the temple with Ashley and we met a nice gal from Perth Australia that was passing through town on business.  We ended up having lunch with her.  Fun how the gospel brings people together!

Spider!

I was out hiking the other morning with Ashley and Jane.  As we were descending Nanshan Mountain I notices an odd looking ball on the step. I thought it could be a spider, but wasn't sure.  Ashley grabbed her credit card and chucked it at the step jokingly, but to our surprise the biggest spider I've ever seen began ascending!  We were all screaming.  Jane in her bravery held her water bottle behind it to give a frame of reference for the photo.
