We got to help our friend, Andrew, celebrate his birthday. His birthday was the day after Tims so we got birthday cake two days in a row. Although, on Tims birthday we ran out of cake before Tim got any cake. Saved us some calories. Andrew brought his girlfriend to share his cake, too!
We are in the middle of the hot and dry season. It does not rain at this time of the year...yeah, right. We got 4 days of rain. It was wonderful! One morning we got rain before we got up and it cooled things down a bit. We went out to exercise at sunrise and it felt a lot cooler as we ran. We didn't get nearly as sweaty as we normally get.
We found another place to eat. It is more of a southwest American cuisine. They even serve milkshakes. Tim and I shared one with our meals.
Today two of our favorite young students came in to say hello. When they stepped in I was cross- stitching. They showed an interest on learning how to do it. I gave them a quick lesson and here they are, trying to do it. I may need to get them a hoop, a decent pattern, more Aida cloth, and floss.
This was the end of a trying week. We are trying to learn some new ropes. Program is changing and it is unclear how it is going to change. We had another water leak in the apartment, and other great events. Really, we do work. It just looks like we only play all our days. Pictures of phones and calling lists and computers really doesn't lend to enjoyable viewing. Our week ended much better. We helped make pizza for dinner tonight and ate with Pres. Adebayo and his family, Elder and Sister Winget and Elder and Sister Brown. Then we sat around the table and talked for quite a while. We have a mission president who is quite amazing. He has been given many challenges and deals with them with great faith and determination.
