Alanna finally got her braces off! She was in them a little longer than originally planned due to Covid19 restrictions and not being able to see the ortho for a bit. Now she is following her brothers' footsteps and starting on accutane. Three down, one to go with braces!
Blaze and Alanna have been joining Paul in putting stickers on bags for our neighbors who sell freeze dried Skittles. They are pretty industrious and earn $100 for doing 1,000 bags!
Blaze really missed Paul while he was in Kenya!
Paul was so proud of his bargaining skills. I don't know that he really needed everything he got, but he had fun haggling prices! On his last day, a man said he'd give Paul a statue if he could have his shoes. Paul's shoes were covered in cement from the work site, but he figured if the guy wanted them so much he should give them up. Then another guy wanted Paul's socks, but he said he had to have his socks to get back on the bus!
Paul has thousands of pictures and videos because the "mom" on their trip is an Instagram influences and pro photographer. It is so fun to see how fascinated the school kids were with Paul's group. Many of them hadn't ever seen white people before, and Paul said they were rubbing his arm hair and the hair on his head, so curious about the differences they saw!
Blaze and his quorum supported their friend at his baptism! Blaze has such great leaders who are trying really hard to get these boys to be great friends, and I think it's working.
Alanna enjoyed a few days up at girl's camp and made a new friend, Maelie, last on the right!
