Party at the house yesterday! Yesterday, we had a small gathering, of only about 40 or so. First about 20ish for San Cocho (delicious soup) for lunch. They had to make it in a giant pot over a fire. Then more people came later, including some musicians (all brothers) and there was a little concert of singers and guitar players. Then some dancing and later some soccer in the dark. Overall, awesome party.
Saturday was Emily's first offical day in door-to-door service. We took a picture with these kids after they surrounded me when they found out I was American. From far away, it looked like the picture of Jesus surrounded by children in the Learn From the Great Teacher book with the scripture "Let the little children come to me." But in this case, they were surrounding me so I could teach them English.This little girl was the cutest. When we played soccer, she told Alejandro (the guy in the video), "Think of me so that you will win." She can also sing "Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes...." in English, complete with the dance.
Great to see that Emily is doing well and she seems very happy. How did she do with the dance?
