Our Time in Dallas

We had to fly to Dallas a week before our flight to China to begin Covid testing. We were supposed to quarantine, but we had to go out to get food and testing so we figured we could do a few other low interaction activities. Plus we ended up with a fairly dumpy hotel and we couldn't stand to be there too much.

Pioneer Plaza, downtown Dallas:

Dallas Zoo:

Dallas Cowboy Stadium:

We just drove by. There was a big basketball tournament going on there that everyone at our hotel was playing in.

The temple!!!

Tom and I had an endowment session and then we also had a baptism appointment. So wonderful. I cried when we drove away the last time.

We always got take out and then found a park to eat at since we didn't want to eat in our hotel room. My top search in Dallas was "parks near me". We got to watch a few pick up basketball games, ended up a park in a very ritzy neighborhood, along a river walk and many others. But I guess I only ended up with one picture of that interesting experience.

Online school down in the atrium:

My exercise track: We were on the 10th floor and I would take the stairs between each floor then around each floor. Down and back up was only about 4,000 steps. But it was more interesting than the treadmill! And since there was only one functioning treadmill in the exercise room this was my option many days.

Last stop in Dallas: a laundromat to do a week's worth of laundry. Don't let the chandeliers fool you...it was quite the joint!

The notice says "Please pick up dryer sheet's after each use or will charged a $1.00 for picking up." There wasn't anyone there to watch me drop any dryer sheets so I'm not sure who was going to charge me. Nor was there anyone to pay me for all of the dryer sheets I picked up for someone else!

While We Are Waiting: Temples!

I love the temple. When I first learned of the possibility of us moving to China in December 2019, one of my first questions was "How can I leave the temple?" That question was answered in part during the closure of temples in 2020. However, when the joint venture was signed and Tom was officially offered the position in China in November 2020, I began fasting and praying that I would be able to attend the temple just once before we left. Our original flights were for July 7, 2021 and just a few weeks before that, our temple opened up and miraculously we were able to get 2 appointments for baptisms and 4 other appointments for Tom and I before our departure date. I can't express my deep gratitude for those 6 precious appointments. Then when we didn't obtain a visa in time for those flights and access to nearby temples was given, I took up a new hobby. Temple scheduling. The girls teased me it was a bit of an obsessed hobby; but since we will go ...

Service Project Report + Thank You!!

First off, thank you, thank you for all of you who donated to our service project for the children's hospital. You made a really big difference! I truly appreciate each one of you! We had a few foreigners here in China who donated, but most of our $750 donations came from YOU! Right before our deadline, many Chinese people came forward with used books and by the time we counted them all, we had over 900 books! (This is not a great picture, but sadly, this is all that I have of the books.) After contacting the hospital as to whether or not they wanted more books or other things (I made several suggestions including bean bags or comfy chairs for the library, comfort items for patients, craft kits, money to support pet therapy etc.) they said they didn't want more books and decided that they wanted craft kits for the children in isolated wards in the hospital. So I spent all of your money on craft kits. The cost of crafts here is so cheap compared to the...

Very Quick Year in Review

It's been a very quiet year on my blog—not intentionally, but things are busy, and I got out of habit. So here is a very quick highlight list of our comings and goings for 2024. January highlight: strawberry picking. The strawberries are SO amazing here! Tom won some kind of award (we still have no idea what it was for) from the city government. We were informed about it 2 days before, and Tom had a board meeting that he couldn't miss. So the government allowed me to go receive it for him. He received a trophy and a large sum of money. Tom's business trip to Japan, the girls and I tagged along. One of the many amazing foods in Japan is kakigori. Shaved ice. To die for. I'd go back just for that and I'm not usually one to prefer sweets over other foods. That says something.... Chinese New Year crowds. We stayed home to avoid them. We had the amazing opportunity to be invited into the home of some Chinese people. We felt so honor...
