Today could you believe we had KFC for breakfast? Yes, KFC! KFC in China unlike the U.S. has breakfast, who would have thought! Our guide, Grace brought us egg, sausage, and cheese biscuits with hash browns. For being fast food and KFC it wasn't half bad! Haha. After breakfast we watched some of Kung Fu Panda and then I came back to the room to try out Skype to let family and friends know I made it in safely. Skype is amazing! It is almost like your there with who you are talking to and not on the other side of the world! After our free time we went back over to our leader's apartment and we had our first Chinese meal in China and we will have the leftovers tonight. It was so good! After lunch we had our devotional and talked about our schedules for the next week. For the remainder of our quarantine we will have breakfast around 8am, have our devotionals, have free time to call family and friends and whatever else we would like to do until lunch at 1, work out time, work on lesson plans, dinner, and then movie and/or games. We did this boot camp video today man was that hard! I will definitely be sore tomorrow! But it will be great excercise and really whips you into to shape and it's fun to do it with everyone! I'm going to head out because we are about to have dinner! Since I can't get on the blog I have been writing my days (pretty much what is in this email) in a word document. And oh my gosh talk about us being spoiled! The massages here are about $3.50 american dollars for an hour and we get 1000 quan (about $160) U.S. dollars every 2WEEKS, and we have our breakfast and lunch covered so we basically have $450 to spend on dinner for the next 5 weeks! Man we will have to write some good thank you notes. Man does the Lord provide!!!!

I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in all the earth."
