have you HERD what goes on in the Kibuye park?

Hello everyone!! Today was a great day in Kibuye, as usual! We all had a great time together and got to go on a bit of an adventure today. After VBS was finished Heather Fader and I took some kids over to the local field. You would not believe how many people were there! They had sports games set up in every corner! There was soccer, bike riding, volleyball and many other things. Right in the middle of it all was a herd of cattle. That was definetly interesting and it fascinated the kids! I will have to admit though, the kids at the park seem more interested in us then the cattle walking around them. Probably because they're used to it! Henry and Eika started doing cartwheels and head-stands and soon enough there was a huge crowd of kids surrounding us and giggling. They would talk/whisper amongst themselves and then turn back to us to watch. We were the center of attention! It was cool to see how intrigued they were! As we were walking back a group of boys stopped Henry and asked for his name, and then some older girls went up to Seattle and asked for her name. After walking away I couldn't help but ask Mrs. Fader if that was one of the only things they really knew how to say in English. Her reply was "Yes they say it all the time. They also know good morning, since they know it they tend to say it to you no matter what time of day it is." I found this ammusing, just as I am trying to learn at least some of the basics of their language (hello, goodbyee, thank you) they are also trying to learn mine! It's great that even though to a point we are seperated both of us knows that truely we aren't. We are all brothers and sisters in Christ just trying to strike up a conversation no matter what the language!
