Visit from Sandy

We had a wonderful visit from Sandy, a lady from the Chinese Church at Calvary. Sandy is from Taiwan and speaks fluent Mandarin and loves to cook. She showed me how to make steamed egg, a dish Mei eats often most likely. Cole and Julia had a little trouble with the texture but Cody inhaled it by the bowl full=) We also recorded some words and phrases in Chinese on our computer. The kids are so good at repeating the words but Mom needs practice=) I will take a trip to a Chinese grocery store with Sandy next week and then we will come home and prepare a meal together. We are hoping that familiar foods will be a comfort to Mei when everything else in her world is changing. Sandy will also come over when we bring Mei home to talk with her in Chinese and translate for us. What a blessing! We are so thankful for Sandy and her willingness to share her time and talents with us. This wait is so hard but God is so good.

  1. The wait is hard, but you're using your time wisely. We can't wait to try some of the Chinese dishes.
