I am going to be lazy and just write today's blog in English.. which saves me
a lot of time. Today is Lord's day. A very busy day for us. In the morning
we went to the meeting hall, dropped off the kids at their meeting, we prayed
and seperated into teams to pass out the door hangersin our designated areas.
Me and Philip and brother Yun Hun Chen and his daughter Amber were in 1
team. By the time we were ready to go out the door hangers were all gone(we
thought they were all taken by the saints, but realized later several boxes
were upstairs), so we took some smaller cards instead. These door hangers and
cards are for people to return and get a free recovery version bible. The whole
church is supposed to pass out all 20,000 door hangers. And hopefully some
people would be interested in the bible and return the cards.

We went out in brother Chen's van, our area is near Jane's house. But since we
didn't have door hangers, we decided it's better to pass out the cards in the
apartment complex 1st, and we went to the apartments that Kathy lives in, since
I know the code to enter the gate. It was very efficient and fast. Me and Philip
passed out more than 100 in just one hour. Then we went to the streets to
pass out to the houses. On our way we saw Victor and found out his sister lives
on the street we were passing out cards, so we went in for a drink of water.

On Sunday night when we went to Yiuman and Jubilee's house, they gave us a
5 gallon fish tank. It's a pretty new and cool one. We set it up that night
and today after my yoga class I took Timothy to walmart to buy some new fish
for our new tank. We chose 2 Red Belly piranha, they grow to up to 16 inches
long(pretty big!!), but now they are about 2 inches long, still baby ones.
They are supposed to be pretty aggresive, so right now we just leave the 2
of them alone in the new tank. We later went to Petsmart to buy some filter
cartriges and a fake plant and a decoration stone for our new fishes.
Jacob & Timothy decided to name them "Pingu" and "Pororo", after 2 characters
in 2 different penguin cartoons. Pingu and Pororo are pretty shy, they like
to hide behind the stone. Hopefully one day they will be trained to come
out and meet us.

For our 1st fish tank we also bought 2 goldfishes, one is white with black
spots, the other is gold and white. They have pretty fins and tails, and
when they swim they wiggle their bodies, very cute! All the 4 fishes get
settled to the tanks pretty well. Hopefully they will live a long life. (if
not, Walmart offers a 3-day money back guarentee :0)

Today for dinner I made 3 dishes: pork chops, lemon pepper garlic shrimps,

We started a new fish tank last week. The boys have always been
wanting to keep some kind of pet... since Jacob is allergic to cats and
dogs the best pet will be fish... low maintenance. Daddy finally set up
tank last weekend... and we went to buy some cheap goldfish last
Monday night. It's good to hear the water running and see the colorful
fish swimming around. Some already died because the filter tube's opening
is too big and the suction power is kind of strong, weak fish are easy
to be sucked inside the tube therefore some disappeared until we solved
the mystery. Yesterday after meeting at the meeting hall, brother Ted
got some fish from the pond for us... they are gray and small fish, not
very pretty but they are supposed to help the water get balanced so
we can get some pretty fish from Ted.
When we first dumped the little fish into the tank, the goldfish were
chasing after them, and I think some got eatten... but now they are used
to each other and hopefully no more fish will disappear...

Today the weather was great. Perfect weather. So I took the boys
to Dallas zoo. It's been half a year since we sent last time. Daddy
couldn't join because in the morning he had brother's fellowship
meeting and in the afternoon he had school project meeting. We parked
by 190 and took the DART train. The fare was $2.5 for me and $1 for
Jacob. Free for Timothy who is under 5 years old. It took a long time
to arrive at the zoo station. Today the zoo was quite fun, they had
this science day thing going on. About 11 stations were set up for the
kids to explore and learn things. We attended about 7 of them, visiting
the animals in between. There were some new displays at the zoo, we
liked the Bug U room, where lots of bugs were housed, we also liked to
see the new monkey display(cute little monkeys that look just like Timothy)
We ate lunch at the zoo restaurant, 2 pizzas, visited all the old friends
(pigs, fish, goats, horses, rabbit...) then headed home. On the way
home in the train both boys fell asleep... it was pretty cold in the
train and I was very afraid that they would catch a cold. I prayed to the
Lord to protect them from illness.
What a fun day, although I felt a little lonely without daddy's presence!

This is our new web home! I am so glad to find this place. Now I can post our stories, our pictures so families and friends can see.
