We have been so busy this vacation from school. It has been a lot of fun.
A month ago we had a team come through to visit us led by a man named Brian. He had been here before and had adopted a son from Guatemala. They came on a Friday night and had a big pizza and ice cream party. We were too busy eating pizza to get any pictures but here is the group serving up the ice cream.
Of course, the food was a big hit. And the kids enjoyed playing with the adults before and after dinner. After we were stuffed with good food, the kids got a big surprise. Each child was handed a "birthday card" with some money inside. This was an even bigger hit than the food! They were told they could spend it any way they want. Tomorrow we are going into the Capital City to window shop before Christmas and they are all excited to spend it then.

The next day the group came back and painted the girls house for us.
They did a good job and left the girls house looking like new! It is always fun to have visitors and these guys were no exception. Thanks for coming!!
A couple of weeks ago we were visited by a group of teen boys who attend a Christian school about an hour from where we are. They are studying to become mechanics. A group of them had made bracelets and other things to sell and wanted to buy our Home something. We don't always have a lot of fruit so they brought us about 8 or 9 different fruits. They were good! Then they played a good game of soccer with some of our kids. Our kids love to play soccer at any time and love to play with other people.

Maria preferred the swings.
Soccer is a pretty serious game around here. (Edgar)
We love having visitors of any type so if any of you ever want to come visit us, you are more than welcome!!! God bless.
