Ok. So I know I told everyone that we were going to Beijing. Well, we were going to be going over the chinese holiday, but everyone, including the locals, told us that was the worst decision we could make. They said it would be so busy, that we decided we better not. So now we are going to...
THAILAND!!!
So that should be fun! I don't know what there really is to do in Thailand, but there are nice beaches. And for me, its another stamp in my passport!
Now about my parents callings. The guesses I got were seminary teachers, door greeters, and activities people. Well, you are all wrong! They are NURSERY LEADERS!!! No joke! Both my mom AND my dad are in Nursery! Today was the first day and it didn't go to bad. Mom is also the branch missionary.
Ok. So you know how I mentioned that my friend was going to come to church. Well she didn't. Se was so commited and we were both really excited about it until 9:30 on Saturday night. She asked whether the church was an actual mormon church, or if it was a bunch of different sects that met together. I told her it was an actual mormon church, then asked if that was a problem. She said it might be with her parents and she should probably talk to them about it. I was really disapointed, but at least I know it wasn't that it was a problem for her, it was just her parents. I told her that if she has any questions, she can always ask, and she said she might later.
Also today, we had our District President in our meeting. His name is President Toranto. Him and his wife and family live up in Beijing and have lived there for 11 years. They have 5 children, ages 7-18. He and his wife are both very nice people. He kind of reminds me of President Hunter (SJS stake president) in his speaking mannerisms, which isn't too surprising seeing as both of them are lawyers. He also looks a little bit like President Hunter, but he really looks like Brother Hunter, in the Almaden Ward! It is really amazing how much alike they look. President Toranto also lived in Palo Alto for a time so he is familiar with where we live.
I think that is about all the news I can think of!!!
Hope everyone is doing well!!! We miss all of you very much!!!
Love, The Busaths!

Please, please, please take lots of pictures of Thailand. You can host them on my website if Blogger won't let you post them all.
I'd really like to see what it's like over there.
And, congratulations Aunt Mary and Uncle Ed! (Becca's a primary teacher...3 and 4 year olds.)
Looks like you are in for an adventure. I hope you are all enjoying yourselves. Don't let your Dad work to hard over there, they might want to keep him there.
I thought you guys would enjoy seeing Gwen and the kids, there are some great shots of them.
