Hello! This is Hannah. We have been busy studying and trying to adjust to service here so we haven't blogged in a while. One neat thing that happened recently was Friday they had the cultural class. Every couple weeks they have a different optional class focusing on a different part of Taiwan culture. Friday it was making dumplings! Which happens to be my favorite Taiwanese/Chinese food. :) Our teacher had gone on vacation and missed a few days, so we actually were suppose to be making up our 101 class during that time. We also had a test scheduled. But the teacher let me go to it anyways and said I could catch up on what we learned. I started my test but didn't have time to finish. Phil wanted to stay in class so he wouldn't miss anything.
The room was packed! Everyone wanted to get to make dumplings. They staff provided all the ingredients for dumplings and showed us how to spoon the filling into the wrapper and correctly pinch it closed.

When properly made they are quite pretty. (Most of us were terrible at it though)
They cook the dumplings by bringing it to a boil then pouring cold water on it, bring it back to a boil and pour cold water on it and then repeat once more.
They also had their own recipe for the dipping sauce that they provided. Everything was delicious! I ate at least 8 of them. :) And I made it back in time to catch the last 20 minutes of class.
Once back in Class I was able to finish my test, I got a 97 and Phil got an 81.
Oh and on a kind of random note here is that video of the baptism from a few weeks ago Phil was finally able to upload it
