It's a Small World Afterall!

We have been enjoying a cultural education recently! Last week we hosted an open house for friends that we support as missionaries in Paraguay. The Reich family is in the states on furlough this year, so we opened our home to their supporters in the Springs area. We enjoyed learning about their life in Paraguay and tasting food from Paraguay. The kids loved the mango juice the most! We had a great time. Thanks, Dan and Christie, for sharing your life and experiences with us!
This weekend we traveled from Paraguay to the Philippines! We are part of a family small group that meets every other week. We are going through a video series studying the Kings and Prophets of the Old Testament with 4 other families. One of our great friends is from the Philippines and has her parents visiting for a month. On Friday we had the privilidge of having Ed and Paz Dayday share an incredible Filipino meal with us, as well as share about their life in the Philippines. We had a wonderful evening together, and learned so much. I felt like I had eaten Thanksgiving dinner by the time we were done! Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Dayday, for all your work on an incredible meal, and for sharing your country with our families! We have had so much fun learning about other countries, that we want to make this a tradition and learn about other countries on a regular basis!
