58 Words from the Wives Enjoy It. Laura Miller Life is what you make it, kid. It always has been and it always will be. Some days you re on top of the w o r l d w i t h o u t a cloud in the sky, and others you feel like you re stuck in the pits with all the mucky mucks, but it doesn t mader, what maders is what you make of it. China is absolutely no dif- ferent. Ninety- nine (well, okay, maybe ninety- five) percent of the Kme I m in love with China. For the most part, you will never meet a more genuine society. We have had people walk blocks with us to make sure we got to where we needed to go. The scenery is absolutely beaukful and the culture is so rich. In fact, Chris and I love it so much that we ve been known to devise various plans that ll keep us here for awhile. But some days, well, some days you ll just have one of those days. Some days will come around where any lesser person would be booking a one way Kcket home. That s just how it is. But we re not those lesser people are we? We re the adventurous souls, right? Right? Here s a few things I ve im- plemented during my stay that has helped turn China in to the rockin adventure I ve always wanted it to be: - Decide now that it s going to be a posikve ex- perience. If you come to China thinking you re going to be depressed because your hubby s always in class and thinking that you re going to go crazy because you don t know the lan- guage, then guess what, you ll be loony by the Kme you leave. During our first trip to Shang- hai for a District Conference I was as sick as a dog. My second Kme using a squady pody was probably the most miserable experience of my life, and I ve had appendiciks and a gall blad- der adack at the same Kme! It doesn t get much worse than having diarrhea on a squat- ter while realizing you have to throw up, too all while puyng together that the reason you feel like someone filled your body with con- crete is because you re actually really allergic to MSG. While in that bacteria- infested stall all I could think of is how great of a story this is going to be some day (someday when I didn t want to rip my stomach out). Talk about a real conversakon starter! - The second Kp correlates to the first Kp, but learn to laugh at yourself and at others (but

59 Words from the Wives not to their face, that s rude). The culture here is different. The food is different. Our first few days in Nanjing we ordered chicken soup. That s a fail proof meal, right? Wrong. I could have easily screamed and been absolutely dis- gusted when I ladled a chicken head and some feet into my bowl (which I kind of was), but in- stead, we decided to laugh about it. And now there are pictures of it on my blog for everyone else to find hilarious. China is definitely more fun when you laugh your way through it. - Develop a hobby. Start now if you can. I ve been very lucky to develop some very portable hobbies. In fact, they tend to take up the majority of my day. When else will you ever have so much Kme to develop some skills you have desired? Never. So just do it! I came to China with a DSLR cam- era thinking I knew how to take good pictures. Over the last four months I ve learned that there is a lot more for me to learn. I am so far beyond grateful to have the opportunity to in- vest as much Kme in to my photography as possible. It s been truly rewarding. My final piece of advice is to get out of your house. You re in CHINA! You don t need your husband to go do things (even though he s nice to bring along)! You ll be amazed with how far you can get with some body language and a few phrases. Although I admit jumping in a cab before realiz- ing that I had no idea how to say the name of the place I wanted to go was less than well thought out, it just makes the expe- rience all the more memorable. So there you have it. If you want to start a pity party about having to move to China, I won t stop you, but just know that you re two shakes away from ruining one of the best experiences of your life. I can t even imagine myself in any other place right now. China is awesome.

60 Words from the Wives China: A Family Friendly Experience Lisa Farley When my husband and I first decided to come to China with the Flagship Program we knew that it was going to be an adjustment for our fam- ily. Hannah (2 ½) and Benjamin (1) would have to leave a lot behind and begin a new life. It was difficult to pack up and leave, I felt like I was rip- ping my kids away from all they knew. The travel here was in- tense and the first week was rough living in one room at the hotel. Once we got our housing things seemed to sedle down fast. It has been almost four months since we arrived and we all love it here. We have become friends with another American family who have two kids about Hannah and Ben- jamin s ages. It has been a blessing to have some friends who speak English. At first we struggled with all the adenkon that came with having two children. It seemed that life stopped around us as people stared. We seri- ously thought we were going to cause a huge bike or car accident as we walked down the street. I do not nokce it as much now that we have been here awhile. At Kmes Hannah and Benjamin have opened up to them, it seems the more open and friendly I am, the more open the kids are. We have really enjoyed the area we live in, there are a lot of children and there is a play area with a few slides. It is a great place to allow the Hannah and Benja- min to play with Chinese children. Hannah opens up a lot while at the park, it has helped her to make friends and to speak some of the Chinese she has learned. Living here in China has also given me the perfect opportunity to step up and learn a new lan- guage, there is no beder way than to just get out and try it! I have struggled and enjoyed learning how to communicate and hope to conknue my lan- guage studies at home. Overall living in China has been a grow- ing experience for our family. It has opened my eyes to so many things that I have taken for granted in my life. At first I did not think it was possible to get by without some of the things that I had in the United States, but as I have lived here without them, I recognize how blessed I am. I have learned to love and respect the people here; they work hard for what they have and are happy. I have learned to be happy here and could conknue to live here if I had to. The Flagship Program has been a wonderful and unique way to experience China!
