A Very Happy Birthday Already (in Kyrgyzstan)
Wednesday, December 21, 2011 at 8:30PM What a birthday morning! After waking I was instantly surrounded by five little girls hugging me saying, "S dnyom roz
hdyenia Neekola!!" ("Happy Birthday Nicola!!") and Masha sang Happy Birthday to me in English. We had breakfast in the dining room - macaroni noodles, mashed potatoes and onions, coleslaw fresh homemade bread and tea. After breakfast, they gave me birthday cards they made last night.
Some cards were three dimensional, some had bows, one had "words" written all over it (lots of "M's" - or "W's" depending on which way you hold the card). One was decorated with beautiful Christmas decorations. Last night one artist asked me how old I was. She looked a little perplexed at my answer, and on her card this morning was a cake with fifteen candles (as many as would fit on the cake). After breakfast the pastor's wife called me wishing me long happy life and a deeper relationship with God. It's been a wonderful morning so far. Soon I will be making lasagna for 30 for dinn
er tonight. It's going to be a great day!
