Our New Friends

Here are the pictures that I promised in the last post... Since last year, we didn't post very many pictures of our friends (granted, we didn't have that many, except for our small group and a few people at school), so this year, we have resolved to do better and so far, I think we have succeeded.

First things first, here is a picture of our small group. We have been with them for almost the whole time we've been here, and they have truly been a lifeline. We thank God for sending them to us! A couple of guys are missing in this pic.

Next, we have our friends Ruth and Ricky. They are a Christian couple at our new school; Ruth is from the US, but grew up all over the place, like me, and Ricky is from the Philippines. We had them over for dinner and introduced Ricky to his first ever fajitas (which he loved, BTW).

Here is Alan, the Spanish boy we tutor.

And here are three of our co-workers. We had them over for dinner the weekend before last, and had a fun time and some great conversation. The one on the right, Tiffany, then went with us last Sunday to our church and to a food exhibition in the neighborhood where we used to live. Oh yeah, and here's the motorcycle.

PS: I love how this post makes us look like social people which, uncharacteristically, we have been recently...
