Independence Day Celebration

We, along with the other American expats, were invited to celebrate the American Independence Day (4th of July) at the American Ambassador's home this year. It was quite a celebration! There was a parade of children where all the kids lined up and walked down the road that was blocked for the excursion, there was American food (hot dogs and hamburgers with soda), there were games, there were bouncy slides, and there were friends. I hope you enjoy the photos of our fun afternoon.

All the little girls were excited to hold
hands and walk the parade together

Prayer and Praise Column

Praises:

-Things are settling down in the country with peaceful talks of the president stepping down

-We had a good holiday filled with lots of rest

-Everyone seems to be on the back end of the mini "cold season" we have had and we are all recovering

Prayers:

-Although there are talks of the president stepping down, no accords have been signed. Please continue to pray the country will have a peaceful change of power.

-Rainy season is coming to an end. Each storm that passes seems to be worse, causing floods and much damage. Please pray that the change of seasons brings some tranquility.

-The 2nd session of school begins on Monday. There will be many people begging for money all around the city hoping to come up with school and supply fees.
