"He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young."

Getting lost...

Funny story...
So Lori and I went to the grocery store today with the Lyle's (A missionary couple). We have been to this store probably five or six times. We even went once for ourselves. I must pause for a moment and tell you that the store is three stories tall and the escalator ramp thingies are hard to figure out as we discovered today. So the Lyle's finished shopping before we did and then they went to eat at the McDonald's on the third floor while we finished. We checked out and then tried to remember where the McD's was. Well, I thought it was down on the first floor but turns out that was wrong and we realized it was on the third floor. Problem was there was no way to get back up to the third floor since our cart was full of paid groceries and the escalator ramp thingies did not go up to the other floors from the first floor (whoever's bright idea was that did not get enough sleep the night before). So we decided the only way to get back up was to make the scary step of trying to talk to someone. We proceeded to go back into the store and the little lady at the door stopped us b/c of our cart full of paid items. Finally after some sign language and perplexed looks she realized that we needed some help and got us a worker to literally escort us to the top floor through the entire store. It was pretty funny and slightly embarrassing (I think more the for the guy than us). Well there you go, how many times will I experience getting lost and confused in a three story grocery store that I have shopped at for two months!! ONLY IN TAIWAN!
