 The Santa Train

 On the train with Tom and Becky and family.

Had to stop and see Grandma Roma Jensen's old house

and play at the park across the street for a few mins.

 A pretty amazing house that has different 

songs and light themes.

It was awesome!

Home Sweet Home

We made it home!

After being gone for 10 days, it felt so good to be home!

(Max and his friends made this welcome home sign for us).

The kids with their souvenirs I brought them from China.

Hanna woke up early to go to a soccer tournament in Bullhead, AZ.

Last Day in China

 Before heading to the airport,

two sisters that served with us on our missions

came and visited with us and we went to lunch together.

We all served in Taiwan together.

Anna and Suzanne both live in Shang Hai with their families.
(Me, Anna, Suzanne, Melinda and Tanya)

Our last lunch in China.

Hanna ate at McDonald's and I ate Beef Noodle Soup.

 We all brought our food to the top floor of 

McDonald's to eat together.

Lots of different foods being eaten at McDonald's.

I'm so glad they came to visit us!

 It was so fun seeing them!

Heading home. Good-bye China!

The flight was extremely long on the way home.

A total of only 13 or 14 hours there, but 19 hours home!

City God Temple Bazaar

Hanna wanted a picture with a Chinese manikin. 

 The shops were near a McDonald's, thankfully.

  We got our survivor shopping done.
