well…i think i have found my second child that i am bringing home with me. his name is alex. he is 4. his mom works at a shop on the street we are staying on and he hangs out at the coffee shop. this morning we did a puzzle, read some books and colored. he ate some of the wonderful peanut butter oatmeal that kim made this morning. he really liked it a lot. he is so cute. everyone knows him here. and later this afternoon i got to meet his mom. i told her that he was my friend. i havent told her that i am taking him yet.
 just kidding.

laura and i started learning how to make different kinds of coffee here today. abner has been showing us how to make lots of different things. we told him that we have a dream of opening a coffee shop when the race is over
if it is the Lords will. so he has been letting us help out.

tonight they had a service in english. it was wonderful. abner lead worship and bruce gave a message about being a servent. it was so great being able to worship and be a part of a service and understand everything. after church we had fruit dipped in chocolate. seriously this is the best place ever.
