"A" was one of the first people I met in China. It didn't take me long to realize that what we shared was much more than a teacher/student relationship. She has become one of my dearest friends. Her birthday was earlier in the week, but I haven't gotten a chance to post lately. Sorry about that "A"! I love you! Here are pics of some of my favorite times in China with "A".
"A" took me to shop at the Bird and Flower Market in Nanning. It was such a crazy experience. She is incredible at bartering. Thanks to her, I was able to come home with some amazing gifts!! One purchase that sticks out in my mind is when she helped me buy a jade necklace. The vendor was asking 360元, and she was able to talk it down to 40元!! That's only $5!
Chase, A, and I at Closing Ceremonies of Camp China 2006.
This pic was taken during our Fairy Tales culture night. I was teaching Cinderella, and A was acting out the part of Cinderella. She was hilarious!!
If I had to pick one of my favorite moments in LIFE, this would def. be on the TOP of my list. One rainy afternoon, A and I spent some incredible time eating apples and peanut butter. We talked about Father for about 2 hours this afternoon. I walked away from this conversation so encouraged. It's a great story....ask me about it sometime!
My first night back in Nanning in 2007. "A" and I were both in tears!! We were so excited to see each other again!! She is my beautiful sister! 
Dear A, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I miss you like crazy, and I love you so much. I hope that you had a lot of fun celebrating your birthday! I wish that I could have been there to celebrate with you. Who knows, maybe one of these days we can celebrate our birthdays together since they are so close together. How fun would that be?!? I would LOVE LOVE LOVE it! You are a precious sister, and I thank our Father for our friendship. Keep loving and learning about HIM, and never stop reading our favorite book. Love you sister!! ~katie
