Sunday Fun with my International Friends- Picnic Time

Today was another fun Sunday with my friends. We had a good class with some stimulating questions. After class we sat in on worship service and enjoyed the music. After worship we headed out to Homes Lake for a picnic. It was a good opportunity to share a picnic before the school year gets too hectic and a chance to welcome people back.

It is a blessing to see my friends each week and today was a double blessing because we had our picnic. It was a bit windy,  but we had fun. The age range was from 2 1/1 to over 60 thanks to the son and mother of a new friend in our class.

Kathy made a new friend and learned some Chinese words as well. Some friends had not seen each other for while like Phung and Lien.

This afternoon was another great example of why I look forward to my Sundays with my friends. It is gratifying to be able to facilitate opportunities for my friends to have fun, enjoy each others company, and have positive experiences in Lincoln. It was a wonderful start to a new week.
