What a fun week we've had! This week at the soup kitchen, we've had soccer tournaments with all of the kids from the soup kitchen- 6 teams in all. The kids are out of school now and don't have much to do during the summer. For most kids here, summer = child labor, babysitting for siblings, or roaming around the dirty neighboorhood looking for something to do. So this has been a fun diversion for them. Greg has been refereeing now that his leg is better and I've been playing with the youth team. We also hosted our 12th sleepover with kids from the soup kitchen. It's always a marvel to watch kids eat pancakes for the first time - the sheer amount of butter they put on them (and that is because we say no to their requests to put Mayo on them), along with putting slices together to eat them like a sandwich. Last night, none of the girls had never used a fork before (spoons, please!). Plus, Pava is such a hit with the kids- they always fight to take her for a walk and scream when she chases them around the house.

Oh boy, are those cuties going to miss you two! The Lord has allowed you to bring some very fun moments into their lives. Thanks so much for your commitment and love that you share with them. (What is Pava eating in the short video) Love, Mom B.
Glad Greg is on the mend. Enough loafing around the house already. ;-) Just kidding. You all have accomplished more in less than a year than most (including myself) will in a lifetime! In the words of Amy Brill, "Yea summer!"
