Summertime means a day at the pool!

While in Kusi, we spent one of our days at the local pool. Everybody loaded up in a bus with swim gear, sunscreen, soccer balls and of course, lunch (which no surprise was rice, potatoes and chicken) to enjoy the beautiful sunny day at the pool.

Here’s a video of the boys going down (and back up) the slide.

More videos from Kusi are on Vimeo.

How does this not make you smile?

For those of you that don’t know, the Scripture Union boys in Peru are given the name girasoles, which is Spanish for sunflower. They live in the Casa Girasoles and are part of the Programa Girasoles. The idea behind the name Girasoles is that like a real sunflower follows the sun during the day, these boys will follow the Son throughout their lives. To those of us who live in a culture where calling a boy a flower name sounds silly, these boys take pride in their name.

Taken right here in Dearborn, Michigan in one of the Ford Motor Company fields.

Happy Father’s Day, Billy! The legacy you are creating for Will and the example you show him daily of how to be a father and husband is our greatest blessing. We love you.
