Asher is Going to Town! Part II

Auntie Emily just sent me this update on Asher's trip to town:

On Saturday we took the kids out to town, and I totally called dibs on Asher! We got a cake and milkshake for him, and he devoured the cake and then gave over half of his milkshake to George. Asher is the best at sharing! Then I got him a fanta because he barely had anything to drink, and he once again gave the rest of it to George! Then we walked into town a little to look at the craft stores, and this man in one of the stores takes two necklaces and gives them to George and Asher. This is VERY rare in Uganda, and I insisted on paying him and he responded with "Excuse me, I am a Christian, and these are my sons." I nearly started crying right then and there! Also the past few days Asher has been telling everyone, "Auntie, tomorrow I leave for America to be with my family." And every time I say, "Do you love your family?" and he responds with a "yes," and I say, "Good, because they love YOU very much!" And he just giggles and smiles.

This sweet story makes ME giggle and smile! Thank you, Emily, for these words of hope! (Look at the post below to see pictures of Asher's trip to town.)
