Friday was another interesting Muslim holiday. They sacrifice cows to commemorate the time God asked Abraham to sacrifice Ishmael. That wasn't a typo. I meant to put Ishmael since that is who the Muslims believe Abraham was to sacrifice. I don't know anymore details about this particular fesitivity. I need to find out and post on my next entry.
Last Monday, I had eight young ladies come to the house for English Club. I hope they all return. But one never knows from week to week how many will attend. I thoroughly enjoy English Club and hope to continue helping Kathy when she returns next week from the U.S. Please continue to pray for that endeavor.
I'm so happy that the ladies are finally coming to the English club - 8 is a good number. English clubs are a great way to get to know people - we did them all the time in Portugal - one time we had them all translate a recipe from Portuguese to English - I still have some of them and they're keepers. Love your fish pond. I finally figured out that when I click on the pond it drops a pinch of food and the fish eat it! :) Any other tricks I should know about? Hope your Thanksgiving was fun! love and hugs, Mary Jo
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Lynne! I hope you have a wonderful time learning new Christmas customs (or the lack there of). I am praying that you won't get terribly homesick over the holidays for your children and sisters and parents. Love and lots of hugs, Mary Jo
