(Steven)

    Isn't it interesting how two things usually happen when you're around somebody for awhile. You start enjoying your time with them more and they annoy the dickens out of you. I guess those are the marks of friendship. After hearing myself referred to as 'Chica' for the hundredth time or having my ears pulled on to the point of tearing, I'm about ready to do some serious kick-but on them (which is exactly what the boys calling me a girl are looking for), but at the same time I wouldn't trade this time for anything and I'm going to miss everyone of these kids when I leave.
    This really was a great week. I did the usual mowing or cutting firewood in the morning. On two or three, maybe four different days "fights" broke out right after work. I personally thought it was pretty fun. The first time Kevin gave one of the boys permission to throw water on me. That resulted in me giving him a nice wholesome meal of grass. Then he threw water on Josh and that resulted in him learning how to fly. On another day I got myself caught up in a "wedgie war". I'm pleased to announce I tore somewhere between 6 and 10 pairs of underwear or pants. I won't tell you how mine turned out. The boys seemed to enjoy it because when I walked into the dining room for lunch right after, they all raised a cheer for me :D

The beast!

    Aww-these are awesome, Steven! That one with you on the waterfall is beautiful-at this right moment I would love to be right there. And hahaha, you posing as a lion is such a classic :D

    Our thoughts and prayers are with you, so glad to see you're doin' well and havin' fun. :)

    Thanks! Actually all those were taken with my camera so I have now taken more than 10 pictures! :D Somebody told me there are at least 50 waterfalls in the surrounding area.

    Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! This has all been such a blessing and I know it's because of the prayers from all you back at home!

    Nice Steven, keep up the good work! I agree with Sierra, the waterfalls look beautiful. I hope you have a slide show of your trip when you get back home. So, keep taking pictures! By the way, Elita and Hannah would like to see pictures of Amanda. :) Oh, it seems like the children are doing a good job holding their own. :)
