A lot of people here don't wear deodorant.  But it works great for putting kids to sleep.  You just stick their nose in someones stinky armpit and the kid goes right to sleep.

 This is NOT our kid.  But I hope ours has hair like this.  We were just practicing a little bit. :o)
My kid still has 2 months of baking to do.



This is the way we build a house, build a house, build a house......  There are so many parts of everyday life that amaze me here.  These ladies will hand buckets of cement up a bamboo ladder until all the forms are full.  I want to take a photo of the women who make gravel, it's just hard some time to get photos of every day stuff.
 Agis started school! :o)

 When someone gets married in a village, all the family comes out to help.  And sometimes they recruit visitors to help too.  The groom is on the right above the bride on the right below.  This was a day before the wedding.

 Everyone helps and eats.  This tray is meant to be shared between 4 people and eaten together from the same tray with your fingers.
 The "pillow" cookie crew.

 The doughnut crew.

 The dish washing crew.

 VBS kids from Macedonia, some of the money you gave during VBS has already been used to help Ismi and Fitri buy school uniforms to start school with.  Ismi is going into middle school and Firtri is starting elementary school and they have to have their uniforms before they start.  If you didn't help them they might not be able to go to school.  And there are more kids, I just don't have their photos yet.  Thank you for helping them!
