Our international students

We participate in a Western program with international students. We basically just hang out with them as much as we can. Our first international students were Bee and Giang,(pronounced bee, and g-ee-ong). They were so nice. We did a few things with them, but they were so busy, sometimes it was hard to do anything with them. One time we went sledding, pics. below. That was fun. We also spent Easter with them. They decorated eggs with us. Then we didn't see them for a year! They e-mailed many months ago, wanting to get together one last time because they were leaving the U.S. We were unable to meet with them.
We have a new international student. His name is Haggai, but his friends call him Nellie. I think his last name is Nelson, and that's why. He likes to bring a friend or two with him when he comes. One time he came to church. We had him over for basketball a few weeks back. That was a lot of fun. He is pretty good. I just watched the boys play, which was very hard for me to do! We love to have international students. I wish we had gotten to know Bee and Giang better, though.
Bee was taking the picture, but here's the rest of us, but Dad.
Giang, after snowboarding.
Bee had a lot of trouble getting up the hill. Underneath the fluffy snow lay a layer of slippery ice.
Giang liked to sled.
Bee is having to go up the hill again. He tried the snowboard once. That was funny! :)
