Paradise Valley
I just got back from our little 2 day adventure to Guanzhou and I have to say it was one of the crazy adventures so far. The first thing we did when we got there was go to Changlong Paradise, it was the most amazing Theme park ever. We went on this rollercoaster that was suppose to be the largest in the world 7 times! All of the rides where so fun and there were no line for any of them. All of the shows were done by people all over the world, including most of them from America. Ever time any one of them would see us in the audience they would double take us. Afterwards they came over and talked to us, they said there were not alot of white people through out the inner cities. After wards we went to the circus, it was so crazy they had so many animals. I even got to see my mini pigs that I want to have. It was so much fun for one day it drained us all. The next day we went and saw three different Buddist temples and famous sites. I have to tell you about the picture above where we where all making our kung foo moves. After we were done taking this picture everyone came over and started praying to it. We had NO IDEA that is was a "god" in there view. We felt so bad that we had defiled something that was precious to them. Afterwards we went shopping downtown, it was a saturday afternoon so it was way busy and everyone kept bugging us to buy everything because we where white. My favorite line that they said was "hey little missy you come buy." It was cute that they tried but they would follow us around. Tonight we went and meet 12 new teachers that got moved to our school. Three of them are guys, return missionaries to be exact, it was so nice we are excited now we are able to partake of the sacrament down here. WHAT A BLESSING!!! I am so excited for this week we start teaching on Wednesday, I will let you all know how it goes. Thanks for reading :)
