Tim and Jeni: Visiting

Sometimes we are out and about visiting with Arab friends a lot. Other times they are busy with things and aren't available as much. Lately we've been able to be with our friends visiting more and it's been so much fun!

We've visited in lots of different ways. We have had friends over to our house, we've gone to their house, we've been to the park, and we've been to some religious celebrations. I really love these friends and these memories that we're making!

Here's Faith playing with Abood. He's only 2, but he was climbing all over! We enjoyed watching his smiles and laughter on his face!

Here's Faith having fun on the swings with her friend!

Here's a fun video of a couple of the girls:

How sad to see them leaving.

Joseph has made a couple of new friends at the park lately!

This is our fun friend, Marium! She calls Joseph (Yusif in Arabic) Yuyif! Isn't it fun to hear how 2 year olds talk?!?

Faith likes playing with her friends from school at the park. I get to sit with their moms and chat about the happenings in the village.

Joseph and Mohammed are good friends. They play well together.

Here's a video of them playing soccer together at Mohm's house:

Here's a picture of the sunset that I took from a boat ride we took one evening.

Another picture from the boat.

This is the collage I posted on Instagram of our fun little boat ride. We live in a fishing community and one of the fishermen gives boat rides once in a while!

Here's Faith and Marium at one of the religious festivals. We were ready to eat dinner on the floor with our hands. This is Faith's favorite way to eat!

Here are the pots that the chicken and rice were cooked in.

Tim took this picture at the men's gathering. The men and women do everything separately here. Joseph has gotten too big to be with me...he has to go with his dad just like all the other big boys.
