Today is my birthday and Sunday was Gerline's birthday, so this afternoon we had a double birthday party. It was pretty fun! We invited some of my friends (Ty, Marc, Woods, Adams, and some others) here in Haiti to come to the mission.
We played musical chairs, soccer, basketball and four square. We taught the Haitian kids how to play musical chairs with a little help from my friend Marc, who speaks really good English.
We ate chocolate cupcakes. They were goooood!!!! We had to show the Haitians how to peel back the paper to eat the cupcakes.
Gerline blew out 4 candles, quickly before the song was even over!
We both had to blow the candles out really fast because the breeze was blowing them out.
Our birthday party was pretty fun!
