God Our Father

Before every family meal we pray together. Jon Campbell up until recently has choosen the pray and lead it most meals. He has a little competition now which is very sweet to see. Jin has memorized his first blessing and can say it very clearly all by himself. " God our Father, God our Father, once again, once again, we bow our heads to thank you, bow our heads to thank you Amen, Amen."

What is China?

Clint spoke to Jin's class about China today.  He had the full attention of all 6 of the three year olds for 25 minutes.  It was both very precious and humorous to observe.  Both Jin and Ms. Cheryl wore their traditional Chinese dress as well.  Clint spoke about eating Chinese food with chopsticks to Chinese letters.  Jin was an excellent assistant.  Papa and Jin also taught his class a few Chinese phrases.  They  got a kick out of that.  For snack Jin shared fortune cookies and blueberry marshmallows, a Chinese treat, with his friends.

Playing the calabash
A calabash is a woodwind instrument similar to the recorder.  It is made from a calabash gourd which is also used to make pipes.  The mouth piece is made from ox bone.  Very detailed painting is done on the front.
