Our little Karis is growing up. We celebrated her 7th Birthday this last Tuesday. We had a little joint get together with our neighbor's son whose birthday was in August. We invited several neighbor kids and since we are among the top five amusing attractions of the neighborhood, we had many adults as well.
We played hot potato, duck, duck, goose, limbo and even had a pinata. Another missionary helped the kids make the fish pinata. They had a lot of fun making it with things from the US. I'll have to say that I don't think I'm interested in doing a pinata again here. It's one thing to keep kids that speak your language away from another child that speaks your language swinging a stick blindfolded. It's quite another thing to not be able to effectively communicate with said blindfolded, stick swinging kid!! Then the MAYHEM that ensued when candy fell from the sky!!!!
All in all, everyone ate well and went home safe and happy.
On Karis' actual birthday we went to a pool to swim and then went go karting. I think they had a good day.
We are just plodding along with our usual work. We are to go to a three week conference that starts next week. Pray for the kids as they will be all day with an African sitter. We will also greatly miss our little storying groups.
Love to all!
Heather
