Ping Ting Hsien, Shansi
December 13, 1914
Dear Ones at Home- I don�t know just what I shall write this week, for it seems everything has been
just like always, nothing special to say. Yesterday we were out to a house warming. A former opium
patients family had worked and the friends and neighbors were invited in for the occasion. It was
much like people do in America. At this the friends bring gifts to be offered to the gods, so we took a
picture from one of the S.S. rolls. There were lots of people there. Had a noodle dinner. The noodles
are just flour and water and then pull out into long strings and cooked. They brot [sic] us each a bowl in
and pretty soon another tray full of bowls came, it was noodles again. Well this was repeated for about
five or six times and I think of the Chinese women ate that many bowls full. It was different from any
feast I had yet had. We made use of the opportunity to tell the Gospel and sing songs.
