Sunday Afternoon Fun


After church we went to our friend’s home to give them the goodies we had brought for them.  We had done a little snooping to find out what the kiddos would love to have and went shopping for those things before leaving home.  Then we prayed them all the way into China.  It was no small miracle that we were able to get through customs in Bangladesh without having anything taken.  We  had been especially praying in the princess dresses for Esther and Grace.  Praise the Lord He protected our gifts and we had a fun afternoon of spoiling our friends.
It was like Christmas!  We had fun giving them some special gifts.
Two beautiful princess girls…they were precious!
We were able to bring them the Kindle they’ve been wanting.
Rachel wanted Settlers of Catan…a girl after our own heart.
We then went to the beach (right across the street from their house) and let the kids run around in the sand.  The little ones got soaking wet and the big ones went out on a paddle boat (except like a bicycle sitting on top rather than sitting down in the water).  It was crowded but we still enjoyed our time on the beach.
Searching for seashells.
This was cool…this man was painting Chinese characters on the sidewalk with water and a sponge. He did it quickly and it was so beautiful!
We ate dinner that night in what used to be a Bhuddist temple. It was neat to think about praying to Jesus Christ in what used to be a place of worship for a false god.
It was so chilly the kids doubled up in some of the dad’s  shirts to try to get warm.
The kids enjoying their best meal in a long time (Spaghetti and Pizza – YUM.)
