Last Friday, we all went to CLM's favorite pizzaria—and unfortunately, I think we gained about five pounds in the two hours we were there! (Or does 2.5 kg sound better?!) Unlike in the States, an all-you-can-eat buffet here allows you to gorge yourself without leaving your seat. About every two minutes, another waiter arrives with a different type of pizza—and we realized there are some things that just should NOT be on a pizza! Tuna, palm hearts, corn, peas, and artichokes? YUCK! However, we did enjoy the “amendoim” pizza which is very close to a peanut butter spread. For some of the kids, this was their first experience at this type of restaurant and they loved it! This special outing was the result of the children working together in four areas: respect, obedience, kindness, and honesty. When one of the children demonstrated extraordinary behavior in one of these areas, they earned a letter. It took a little longer than we had anticipated to reach the goal but they did it! :) Go to our Flickr page to see more pictures from this fun event! Please pray that the children will continue to develop Christ-like character.

Yuck! Sounds as bad as macaroni and cheese pizza at CiCi's! So, after all those "tasty treats", anything you guys especially miss from the states? By the way-thanks for posting all the pictures. It helps us feel like we're part of it all too! Although it makes me miss you more! Love you guys-and the girls!
