Tepes and David from China

We were blessed to host two 13 year old boys from China for the past 10 days. They were on a Chinese exchange program and got to see New York, Washington DC, and Philadelphia before arriving in Houston. Tepes spoke fairly good English, David not very much English at all. Thank goodness for Google Translator app on our phones!
We all had so much fun while they were here. The first evening they gave us some gifts, one of the gifts being chopsticks. We got some lessons on how to use them properly!
 After lots of laughs and some corrections in our holding of the chopsticks, we were able to pick up things from the ground!
 We were able to play many games with the boys and they picked up quickly. One game they liked was Tsuro.
 Friday evening the church hosted a BBQ and dance. We put our chopstick skills to work and ate with only chopsticks! It was a bit of a struggle but we managed! No chance of eating too fast this way!
 Here the boys are showing Claire how to fix her hold so she can grab the food easier.

 After eating, the DJ lead all the families in some line dancing fun. Everyone was a great sport and tried their best. We had lots of laughs!
