Grace also informed me that the nice school buses are rented for students that have to travel a long way. The local school buses are more like our yellow ones. I was only partially right, sorry.
I attended a concert yesterday (I would say it was more of a show than a concert). It was put on by Clayton Productions from SLC. Steve has connections with everyone, it seems! He asked them to come and they did. They will be performing in Taipei too. It was good. And I was very excited to see white people. Yeah!! Here’s something crazy – one of the guys looked a lot like someone I knew in high school. Dave Egbert. (And it took me forever to remember his last name.) I was kind of far from the stage so I’m not exactly sure.
The Taiwanese students seemed to really enjoy it. I wonder how much of it they understood since it was in English. Hm. I actually took a picture of the sea of black heads. It’s still funny to me how they all have the same hair color. (FYI- this took place before the conversation with Grace.)
Today I played ping pong (or table tennis) with my friends again. It was fun. And a bit tiring. They are pretty tough coaches. They keep telling me how to hold the paddle and hit the ball. It’s good. Better to learn it right the first time than have to re-learn and change bad habits. I’m totally up for a game with you, Grandma! I am doing pretty well considering I just learned all the rules. Emily and I did play 2 games. She won in both :(
One last thing from today: Scott talked to me and wants to give me a church calling. Ha ha! I wonder what it will be, since I can’t speak Chinese. He wanted to meet with me this Sunday, but I’ll be playing on a beach. Yeah, that’s right, Kending trip is back on. Yeah! We leave tomorrow morning. I should probably go pack. I’ll have pictures and details on Monday.
A sea of black heads.

The Clayton group has been around for a long time. Old group - new players. I'll bet you enjoyed it. It looks like a nice auditorium.
I think they could make you a door greeter. You could put your hands under your chin and bow.
I'm glad your trip is back on. Have fun.
Grandma
I had a ton of friends in Jr High and High school that were in the Clayton group.
Have fun on the beach! Hope you don't get sunburned! Maybe you'll be the "sunshine girl" for your calling. We really had one of those at Ricks.
