Jonathan's lunchtime "ministry" at school

Every day (almost) Jonathan and Jennifer go to school to take Dave his lunch! Dave is on lunch duty every day with the highschoolers, frequently making patrols to make sure everybody cleans up after themselves.

Jonathan's part of the ministry is to cheer up the highschoolers! Girls and guys alike flock around him. The seniors asked the other day "Can he be our class baby?"

Here's another fun scene from school lunch hour!

Spices for Lunch

It is said that tofu takes on the flavor of whatever you cook it with.
We had a tofu dish last week and here are the spices used to make it taste good!
Everything is fresh and nothing out of a bottle -- all of the roots and cloves were ground up with a mortar and pestle. The leaves were stewed whole. Pour in a bit of coconut milk and our tofu dish was delicious! Sorry I don't have a picture of the finished dish!

On the Move

Trying with a slightly bigger video now. Jonathan again, but I know you grandmas and aunties will enjoy this!

My new name is Trouble!

Walking to School

In a previous post, I mentioned that we travel on a sidewalk on the way to school. I realized my words didn't really given an accurate perception of the experience so here is a picture of our lovely sidewalk! Apparently it was only built a year ago, and things in this country do not tend to hold their structure very long, as you can see by the landslide partially covering our sidewalk! None-the-less it makes our walk much safer and we're so thankful for it!

Here's another safety feature on our walk to school! The school has 24 hour security personnel and one their duties is to help people like us cross the road safely! They are my heroes every day!

Bath time is fun!

This is our first attempt to upload a video to the blog!
If it works, enjoy! This is the kind of fun we have at our house every night!
