Small Group Night

    It is Thursday night and small group night at my church.  Tonight we learned about how we should be living in the tree of life through our actions.  It was a great time of talking with my friends Ben and Jamil! They may be a little older than me, but hey, I need all the help I can get!  I like it when I can go to small group, eat snacks, and talk with friends.  I also get to play inside with my younger friends too.  There are so many fun people at my church and everyone is like family.
    Below is a picture of our friend Ben with whom we met in Thailand years ago.  He is the one wearing the white hat.  When we had first met Ben in 2003, he could barely speak any English, because he had just moved from Yemen to Bangkok.  As of last spring, he had been living in the US for 5 years, speaks wonderful English, and had just became a US citizen!  He, his wife and child are all living in Knoxville, Tennessee, and frequently come to Birmingham to see us because we are the closest thing to family.  I am excited to have my picture made with him because we do not get to see him everyday.
