Outings with Friends

 

I have had a few opportunities to go out with some of the girls I've met here in St. Louis. One day Emily, Selia, and I went to the London Tea Room. We had a tea party with a matching glass tea set and yummy pastries. I think we sat there talking for almost three hours. Selia is a really fun person and I look forward to getting to know her better. 

Sephora and I went to Six Flags with another girl (I forgot her name). It is a very large amusement park. We rode lots of roller coasters and walked around seeing the sites. We ate at a very expensive restaurant inside the park. 

St. Louis offers quite a few free museums within a few miles of where I live. Obed took me to the art museum in Forest park. It was really fun walking through the museum and looking at the different styles of art. We also went outside and walked around the park and took photos of each other. 

Obed is a really sweet friend. We have also been exercising together sometimes.

One of my first Sundays in St. Louis, Sephora and I went to Subway to get sandwiches and then we went to a park near her home. We talked a lot and walked around. It is a beautiful area.

Fun with the boys!

Zadok and Qorban are two very special people in my life. I like to call them Zigzag and Libonza (Libonza means gift in Lingala). I am so blessed to be able to live with them and do fun things with them almost everyday. Zadok and I love to listen to audible stories together. So far we have listened to Little Britches and The Pushcart War. We've also enjoyed listening to Your Story Hour. I was able to find some of my favorite Your Story Hour stories from my childhood. Right now we are listening to a story called Enemy Brothers. Zadok is a very good listener and will sit quietly for hours. We like to have fun snacks when we listen too. Qorban likes to join us in listening sometimes. 

I had fun taking each boy out on a special date. It was so fun to have one on one time with them and to listen to what they were thinking about. They both are very observant and have a lot to say.
