Another Awesome Day with the Boys! Today was hang out and play day until 1pm Embassy appointment to get Teshale's passport. That was about 2 1/2 hours in a waiting room, but the kids did real well with Lego building and playing! After 5 minut...es of questions, we were out of there and off to Teshale's FIRST restaurant ever, we think! He got to see a large fish tank and ate very well for dinner.

By the way, we found out he doesn't like green peppers! Smile! Hopefully that doesn't mean he doesn't like any green veggies. We shall see though! Veggies aren't a common thing for most to eat around here. Fruits are a little... more common, but we have been advised not to eat any fruit you can't peel. We have been fortunate so far with the stomach stuff, so our Juice Plus+ is having to be the fruit and veggie servings until we get back to the states. That is a bit challenging for our bodies because we normally eat lots of salads, fruits and veggies. It doesn't seem to be bothering us too much to have to go without, especially when you see thousands... and thousands in the streets who probably never get any real nutrition. Please pray for these people and all of the countries that aren't as fortunate as the USA.

America is truly in a minority for food and so much more, no matter how bad our economy is!!!! Tomorrow we go to visit a couple of local orphanages. Friday is a Free day that we haven't decided what we will do yet. I am just so anxious to get... Teshale back to his new home and bed! The poor little guy has missed naps for the last 3 days!
