After returning from Tibet, we looked forward to spending the week in Shanghai and taking a break from travel the following weekend. I have found that it is best to travel one week and then to stay local the next week in order to maintain some level of balance. We have also really enjoyed breathing normally in Shanghai again after living at such a high elevation while in Tibet last week. ![]() This week was all about getting back into the rhythm of classes and enjoying spending time with friends on the weekend. We were really blessed to visit Mona (one of the staff members) in her home which is outside of the city. It was refreshing to be in someone's home, and Mona was so dear to make homemade dumplings and a very delicious lunch for us. I always tell Mona that she is my pretty and smart friend, so she wrote that I am hers in Chinese calligraphy for me. ![]() Kendall (our RA) also helped us find "Charlie's," which is a burger joint in the Kerry Center. Sometimes a good 'ol American burger, fries, and milkshake is what a girl needs. Thank you, Kendall!

We are so grateful for the friends that we have made here in Shanghai. The Program Director Charlie and his beautiful wife Judith invited us to their home for dinner. We enjoyed a delicious homemade dinner and enjoyed time with their adorable children. It was so wonderful to be in a home and enjoying fellowship with new friends. Thank you, Engelmann Family! You have blessed us so much already!
