How can you have endless hours of fun playing with someone that doesn\u2019t even speak the same language as you?! \u00a0You can ask our kids! They have done the best job adjusting to this very different culture!\u00a0 They find friends wherever we go, and run around and laugh with them.\u00a0 Even though they speak two very different languages!<\/p>\n

Just yesterday, we went down to the bottom of the airstrip to try to facetime family (didn\u2019t really work).\u00a0 Of course we drew a kid crowd with our technology.\u00a0 Our kids started running around with them and they all worked together to build forts!\u00a0 The day before, everyone worked together to cut the grass on the airstrip (with grass knives\u2026not mowers!).\u00a0 The kids found tall sticks, stuck them in the ground, and then gathered the cut grass to finish the fort.\u00a0 What fun!\u00a0 Of course, I say that our kids don\u2019t understand them\u2026but who knows?!\u00a0 They may know more than I think!<\/p>\n

My main point is that people worried when they found out we were bringing our kids to a foreign land\u2026but our kids really love it.\u00a0 It makes us so proud that they are adjusting to this life and having a blast with it.\u00a0 Thank you Lord for always giving us what we need!<\/p>\n
