Samaya has been taking soccer shots for half the year. Alena took two classes and then didn't want to take anymore. They both are taking swim lessons and they are so good! Really, I mean it! All the parents are impressed with Alena. She swam with a floaty, but all by herself across the entire pool. It took her awhile, but she did it.she loves to swim. Samaya and I were doing parent child classes for two months, but her teachers said she should advance early. She did her first class on her own and blew me away. She takes her class in the same pool by sissy and try's to one up her by sticking her head in the water and jumping in. She is fearless! Our friends Joey and Sarah said it was the best first lesson they ever saw.

Alena and Samaya are having a great summer. They are going to splash parks seeing friends, going to parties...it's been fun. Today we went to Patricks and Tonyas daughters baptism outside. Patrick and Tonya and their 3 daughters are missionaries in China and it's been fun seeing them and the girls love playing together. Alena went to the water park today and kept pouring water over Samayas head saying I am baptizing you. Tonight she kept asking questions and then asked Jesus to come into her heart, but she said she did not want to get baptized. It was really cool. So happy!
