Happy Early Birthday Megan! Today we went to an ELIC fellowship meeting, sang some good songs, and had a talk about the Father's book in the morning . We went out to lunch, then got ready to go Meg's bday party that some of her ELIC teammates threw for her. The theme was "double pretty." Neither Alan, Sarah, nor I understood what "double pretty" meant really until later in the trip. Meg's explained that the styles in China are somewhat different than the US and that many Chinese people come up with some nice clothing combinations. They put two pretty things together (but may not pay much attention to how well they go together). For example- a pink polkadot skirt with a flowered shirt. Or two different types of plaid for top and bottom. Or a dress that has flowers, glitter, sparkles, diamonds, and ruffles. So, in the pic is our feeble attempt at being double pretty. We didn't have many clothing options with our travel clothes. We went to the party and the hosts Bridget and Ben had made some awesome posters with Meg's picture. Different people brought food and we visited, ate, and played some games. It was fun. I enjoyed seeing and meeting the people that Megan hangs out with everyday.
(Notice even Buddy the badger dressed up for the party. His costume morphed half way through and now he is sporting the pirate look!)
