Rugby Match

So last Saturday, Chengdu came down for the Pu’er Plate competition in Rugby. Now, I hadn’t played rugby since we went to Shanghai in October and if you had read the blog post about that…We did horrible. But not this time. We beat the pants off of them….I didn’t score in this game but I did have two saves for scores which helped us out tremendously because if one of them had happened…it would have put Chengdu ahead of us and the momentum would have shifted there way. But we ended up winning 26-7…so it was a good day all around. Then we had a after match meal at Appetizing which is a Thai restaurant which is owned by the captains wife….IT WAS ALL YOU CAN EAT!!!! IT WAS GLORIOUS!!!! For those of you who don’t know, pu’er is a type of tea that is sold in southern China.

So this week in the character class, I have decided that we are going to start the lesson of creativity because Christmas is a season of creativity….People decorate there houses with lights and other stuff….well, we are going to try to make gingerbread houses. It is going to be something of a challenge I imagine. First, I couldn’t find gramcrackers…so I got these other type of crackers. I do have a friend who make icing about once a month…so she is going to make me tons of icing which we are going to use for the houses….My next thing I need to find is colorful candy…I hope that we don’t make too big of a mess….
