Tuesday, 30 August 2011

Today is the end of Ramadan feast.  Our neighborhood has a very festive mood with lots of new and brightly colored dresses and clothing.  And, there's lots of food.
 
You know, our Muslim friends are just like our friends in the States.  They have many religious holidays where they celebrate important dates and during those celebrations friends and family stop by to share in some fellowship and food.
 
They are, for the most part, living their lives in a way that is very much the same as anybody you or I might know in North America.  They want the same things:  good health, obedient children, food, shelter, clothing, etc.
 
They have also accepted us as part of their neighborhood and they take care of us.  We love it.
 
Hope you all have a great day.

Steve,

IT IS SO NICE THAT WE ARE ALL ALIKE IN SO MANY WAYS THAT MATTER, AND we can all understand each other even when we cant't speak each others language well. My love to you!
