We've met up with this twelve year old boy twice now at the red fort gate. He's so cordial and friendly to us. We really like this little kid. Fred asked him why he wasn't in school. He said he didn't have enough money. That he has to work to help his family. We've been trying to figure out how we could give him English lessons but it's about an hour's drive from where we live to get to him and then we don't know a place to meet. I guess we could just teach him on the sidewalk. The two older guys are just vendors and friends of his. They are real characters. The one with his arm around Fred sells hats and black beards and mustaches. Fred wanted a black beard really bad but when he tried it on it was too itchy. I don't think the mission would approve of him with a black beard anyway.

  1. I just pulled up your blog and Asher is here sitting on my lap. The minute the blog came up and he saw the pictures of Dad, he said, "Pa Pa!" He calls Morgan, "Pa Pa" too. So he knows that word means Grandpa. He started using it a few weeks ago when he saw pictures of Dad on the blog. But I can't believe he remembers!! He hasn't figured out how to say Grandma yet. Love you all!
