Friendship

 Though numbers are low, we are still having a great year at Friendship International.  I had to say goodbye today to such a sweet lady returning to Brazil.  That's the way it goes, people come and go and we hope they are touched by Friendship!  This year the English 4 class is awesome.  They had a Halloween party and carved pumpkins and always invite me to be a part of their fun.  Again such neat ladies from all over the world and in Austin for various times and reasons.

 One of our programs was Fashion Show (the day after Halloween-why let the kids have all the fun?  So we got dressed up too)  Featuring dresses-a mother of groom 27 years ago, self made Chinese formal, Indian gifts, winter formal, 50th anniversary outfit, wedding reception Chinese dress and my dress from a wedding in Oman (still fits because its super loose)

 We had a Thanksgiving dinner with families (Caleb was out of town for work) and Judith did a short play about the first Thanksgiving for the children.

This is our third year to also do a UT Friendship program where we get matched with a family.  This year the lady I already knew from our church Friendship!  They are from Korea and they (as well as Imane and her son) came over for dinner this week and the kids had a great time running and playing.
