Mid-week letter home

Hi Mamma!
So this week I got 4 letters from you! I was SO happy!  Sorry our email time was short & uneventful. Hopefully my China Town experience makes up for it! This should most DEF go on the blog.
So China Town is seriously like traveling to China. I didn’t hear English anywhere! We were looking for fake stuff to buy. Hello! It’s China Town! We have two elders in our district who are Mandarin speaking & had served in China Town so they were our guides. In China Town they don’t just have fake things in the market to buy….. you have to look for it. Usually people walk down the street saying the brand,  for instance they’d walk around saying “Michael Kors…. Michael Kors” You just walk up to them & then they take you to the goods.
So, naturally, I was looking for a MK watch. Elder Leung found a lady who told us to follow her. She got on the phone & called someone as we walked about a block. Then we met another lady who said to follow her! She opened this hidden drawer & pulled out tons of fake MK watches. They wanted $50 for them but Sis Richeson& I talked the down to $30! Then she showed us their fake Coco Chanel& Tiffany jewelry…..so naturally I had to buy a fake ring!  Then I asked about MK bags….. this is where the fun started!
She guided us to a backroom that was tiny. Then she pushed this hidden button to open a hidden door to a HUGE room full of fake bags!
Luckily the elders followed us because it was probably on of the sketchiest things that ever happened! I didn’t end up buying a bag….be proud of me! I spent $40 on fake things.
Anyway, hope that was enjoyable for you because that will be a memory I will NEVER forget! And yes,,,,my watch is rose gold!
I love all of you!
(especially you mom & dad)
Love,
Sister Toone
