International Y Student
This is Mary Li, April Lin, and Ethan Parker. Today was April’s first day in the United States.
Don’t worry, she actually smiles a lot and we had a great time today. Culture thing in pictures. She’s now a 20 yr old Sophomore at BYU and not Mormon. My friend Mary volunteers with the international office on campus and asked me if I would drive them around today to get some things done. We got groceries, a student ID, a laptop, a pillow and some other stuff. She looked very lost in the grocery store. Poor girl said something like “all this food is so American, I don’t know what to get” in Mandarin to Mary.
Mary was in her same position 2 years ago and now speaks excellent English as a very active Latter-day Saint. Great experience!

It’s very curious to me that some one from a communist country (which is enforced atheism) would choose a religious private school to attend. Did you ask her why?
