Sunday, December 20
What a busy, exciting day!  We celebrated Benjamin's 9th birthday today.  He asked for baked French toast for breakfast, grilled ham and cheese sandwiches for lunch, chocolate cake with coffee ice cream and pepperoni pizza (with American pizza sauce!) for supper.  We also enjoyed playing Loot, a new card game.
Today, the married women and the "young girls" (anywhere from Sarah's age through adult) continued to practice their dancing for Christmas.  Two girls came and got Sarah to go practice with them.  She did a great job of following their continually moving feet!  Each group practice in the shade to get out of the hot sun, so the pictures are backlit, but everyone seemed to have a great time.  I saw lots of smiles and heard lots of laughing.
Our friend Joy arrived on a very full Bikoi today.  She said that the Bikoi staff was moving people around to balance the boat because it was so full.  We met Joy at POC last year, and she has remained a very special friend.  It's a good thing she's not afraid of adventure!

So glad that Joy is there and that Joanna is feeling better. The birthday boy looks happy and healthy.

Still praying for rain for the Islands.

Merry Christmas!
