Today (Wednesday) Hannah had an appointment with Sioux to go on a few bible studies. This was her first time driving the scooter anywhere by her self. After I drew her a map, I'm happy to report she made it there and back with out getting horribly lost.
Once she got back we had an appointment to go and see an apartment which we assumed was in our same building since that is where we found the posting.... As usual we were wrong. We went to where we thought we were suppose to meet him but he wasn't there. He called us and we told him where we were, and he told us we were in the wrong place and said again where to go. After walking to 3 other places and crossing the same street twice we asked him just to meet us at the Family Mart which is part of our building. After waiting for 5 min he called and asked where we were. He was at the 7-11 at the end of the block; so we told him we would meet him there and we ran to meet him.
Once we met him he said that he would ride his bicycle to the apartment and we could follow. We saw him get on a scooter and our confidence in his English ability, and our Chinese dropped a few more points. we followed him there about a block away from where we are staying now. It is a really nice little apartment on the 5th floor and it is a corner apartment so it has a nice layout. Also right in front of it is a community garden where anyone can plant. Also on the first floor there is a really cool garden. It is a little more than we would like to spend on an apartment that size but he said since we don't need the parking spot they could probably drop the price some. Also they were willing to work with us with a short term lease. While we don't feel it is perfect for a few things like that we have to call to have the gas container filled so we can have hot water, and there is no stove top we think it is a possibility still. We still have some time to find one and we don't want to jump into the first one we see much more thought and prayer needs to go into the decision.
Here are some pictures of the apartment:

That is all for today lots of thinking and praying to do. Until next time.
