Dearesr friends and family,

It was a nice day. I am sorry to hear that you guys had another fire in
Reno. Are you expecting snow or rain? I know it has been raining in SF according to the weather report.

I got birthday card from Barbara and Sis Lanning. So nice to receive mail!!!

Evan and I went to Carrefour(huge super market) to return the rice cooker we bought. Then when we came back to the office, we got a new rice cooker from Amy with treats. I just ate my last fruite roll so I was so excited. Thank you. And letter from everybody was so special!!!

After the lunch we tried to find out the hospital which we can visit. Most of the injured guys are motor cycl accidents. People are waiting to get in to the Hospital waiting for days. But we found out that hospital is operated by the government so we can`t visit. We have to find another private Hospital. Pray for us to find out where to go.

You should see the motor bikes here. As soon as Signal change to green, the about 20 motor bikes all start like a big race and going so fast between cars. It is amazing.

Evan went to have his hair cut today. Hopefully the guy is whom Tim baptised. I sure hope that is the same guy!!!

Everything in here is so expensive. I had to pay over $300 for my hair cut and color and highlight. I`d better find the cheaper one. Or maybe I will do my hair color by myself. Evan`s haircut is first time is $35 and after that $50.00. Why goes up????  Strange.

The rain last night was so strong that the street was like a big river. But today is nice and cool. You never know.

Tomorrow Patty and we might go to Reiverdage. If not we might go to Anmboo(??) with the Scudden. We will see. Anmboo is where they sell arts. I am trying to get Nativity  set for each kids, if not so expensive.

Today, the fat guy was trying to cross the street and we were so worried for him. Good thing he made it OK!

I really really miss and love you so much!!!
