Fadi and Miamu came today, and they are here to stay! School starts for them on Monday, so all they have left to do is get books and uniforms... And get used to living with a whole bunch of crazy white people! That might take longer for Miamu - I can't imagine how hard it is for her to leave her family and her village where she has lived all her life and come to stay in a very American house with electricity, all sorts of technology, American food (white man chop) half the time, and English-speaking people! Pray that the transition will be easy for her. It's a good thing Fadi is here with her. But we are all so happy to have them back in the Jackson Village! Katelyn and Lum made a cake and we shall celebrate tonight.
We also finished all our painting - our room is coffee-colored with some black here and there, Katelyn's is black, gray, white, and purple, and Lum's is bright blue. It is quite nice to have it finished, after days of searching for paint and tint and mixing until we get the right color. Another reason to celebrate!
