Getting Started

Last night we had our 4th of July celebration. It was truly a multicultural event. Although we were celebrating the independence of the United States, we had a party with Canadians, Dutch, South Africans, Filipinos, and even a few of us from the U.S. It was a good time. Grilled food, a good potluck, and bonfire to make for a good celebration.

This morning I went to Amecet Amun, where the older children live. I did a Bible study with them, which I will be doing each of the Saturdays while we are here. It is difficult to get the kids to answer questions and discuss, but it went quite well. It was just fun to see these kids again. They seem to be doing well.

Barb went over to SACAB and saw what progress the blind people had made on knitting over the last year. They have done quite well and made good progress. In fact, the woman who Barb had determined last year would not learn to knit until she got to heaven, had actually been knitting and was doing surprisingly well. Josh commented that obviously heaven had come to earth.

We are adapting back to the heat and humidity. The heat of the sun reminds us where we are. And yes, it rained again last night. We don't mind that so much because it cools down the evening.
