It was Aunt Jenna's birthday on Saturday. Happy Birthday!! For her birthday a small group of us, her friends (9 of us) piled into an SUV with charcoal bbq's & home made salads to the river for the morning/afternoon. We all had a great time.
Saturday evening we went to Kiel's baseball year finishing bbq & award ceremony. The baseball league is the Ulaanbaatar baseball league & is managed by a family that is part of Campus Crusade. There was so much food & a lot of people.
Teresa, Esme & I were so proud of Kiel when he went up to accept his "Coaches Choice Award." This award is given to the player who is a leader with good character & contributes to their team every game. Kiel, if it were not for us (mom & dad) telling him 15 minutes early is good would have been at the field every morning 30-45 minutes early. While he played he always encouraged his teammates to do their best & always encouraged the players on the teams he played against. Kiel says that it is more fun when everyone have fun.
Also this past week a Canadian family from Saskatchewan has come for a months mission trip. They had been reading our blog & we were emailing back & forth for 6 months before they arrived. Kiel & Esme were so excited they were coming, Canadian friends to play with. They have been playing everyday for hours since they have come & we are enjoying the time we are spending together. They are a great family.
