More introductions!

Last night we went for a walk and this neighbourhood certainly is interesting. The people who went on the walk together were me and Claudia (who you met yesterday) and Micah and Kim and Su En. But before I introduce them individually, I have a picture of the whole group, except for Matt and Melinda. This photo was taken on Sunday morning when we arrived home from church:Left to right: (standing) Kim, Micah, Erika, Dana, Su En, Un Ha, Alma; (in front) Claudia, James, Un Chau

So, here is Micah, a Quaker from the state of Idaho. Micah is a very enthusiastic and interesting woman. She taught at a school in Austria for 3 years and is eager to go to Albania with OM. She is a hard worker and an enthusiastic encourager, as well as a good listener. Also, to her benefit, she is a sound sleeper and never complains about my snoring at all!

So here is Su En. Born in Singapore, but she lives in Holland. She and Kim love to speak dutch together. Su En is a little bit off-the-wall and you never quite know what she will say next. But she's a lot of fun and very funny. She is trained in early childhood education and is really looking forward to working with children in Albania when she gets there. Speaking of children, today was Oliver's second
birthday and we had a 'wee bit' of a party for him, sure! We even had cake!



Kim also came on our walk with us. Kim is a lovely young woman from the Netherlands as well. She is also going to Albania. Unlike Micah, Kim is a light sleeper adn she quickly switched out of our room to sleep - but she left her suitcase and stuff so she has an excuse to visit us during the day!




Speaking of walks one of the characteristics of any walk in this area of Hungary is that you get to deal with the various personalities of every dog from here to wherever you are going. ALL the dogs bark (day and night) and ALL the dogs love to run out and bark at you very loudly when you walk by. Some of the dogs are pretty big and some of them are ferocious - take a look a this:

    Hey Mom, remember, dogs won't hurt you if you have a string of sausages you can throw to them. The More You Know...
