Joy for Joi ,Week 20

Some of the things I've been thankful for this week:

 + Rayna sharing a "testimony" at the international service this past week.  She's never met a microphone she doesn't like!  (Our friend Heidi took these pics)

+ Getting to go to another International Women's Club event -- this time at the British ambassador's house.  The wives of the Polish ambassador and the Chinese ambassador were there, along with other women from all over the place.  Everyone was asked to bring food from their respective cultures so it was quite a spread!  I enjoyed meeting women from all different walks of life and hearing their perspectives.

+ Daily soccer games, Blink competitions (with wagers), and rounds of "Spot-It" with the kids


+ A reception this afternoon at the American ambassador's house for Fulbright and Embassy folks.  Again, a nice time to meet people from all over and have philosophical discussions about economics, life and culture.



+ Visiting with a very mature 17-year old Moldovan girl who will be going to a high school in Fairfax, Virginia this next school year.

+ Chocolate-filled croissants

+ The whole series of "The West Wing" available at the local American library

and

+ Cute little Daddy-wannabes:
