weekend of parties

nothing like a weekend full of eating!! Yesterday I finally had all the girls over from my fellowship group. For a long time some of my other ex-pat friends and I wanted to do this, and just let our friends how much we love them and appreciate their friendship. We didn't have time over Christmas, so went for Valentine's Day instead:-) So these are a couple pictures from that. I made lots of pizza and breadsticks, and the other girls brought dessert and salad and our Kyrgyz friends had a blast!

Then today I went with some of the girls to my friends parents house, and had a very Kyrgyz afternoon of being fed for four hours! It's quite the experience to go to a local's house because its a big deal for them, and they have so much food on the table. Many salads and stuff, and then a main dish, and then dessert, and it goes for 4 hours or more! But it was fun and now I'm home from all my parties and visiting, wondering how I'll ever get all my stuff done to start the week! But I guess it will all happen sometime!

Hi Rebecca, Sounds like much fun. Your activities with all the youth are wonderful. You are in our thoughts and discussions with Dad. Your website is dynamite!
Thanks for the updates,
