Kids on Home Assignment
June 2015
|
|
Dear Friend,
Just over a week into our time in the US we visited a family friend in Missouri, and Asher had his first experience with American culture. On a couple different days the kids were rushed outside to see a turtle or snake.
While in Missouri, we had to travel long distances of 60 minutes or more to visit friends. Asher found a toy gun that made noises. He used it as a leaf blower because that was the only toy he had seen that was thin and long which made noise.
A week later, we met with friends at a children's nature park. Asher splashed in a creek and climbed a tree while steering clear of poison ivy and stinging nettles. Again, these are things that he hasn't experienced in England.
Asher has corrected us a few times to say the British word instead of the American word. For instance he told me very sincerely, that "It is the 'rubbish' not 'trash' mummy." He also "whispered" to me our very first Sunday here that this was not our church.
We realised coming to the US is a cultural experience for Asher. The things we find normal to us in the US are new and different to our son, who has spent most of his life in England. Asher sounds like an American, but acts like a British boy.

Prayer Points
Nothing much has changed since last time.
- Asher has a sinus infection that is clearing up.
- Pray for continued good travels and meetings while we're here.
- Pray Asher and Eva Joy will continue to be flexible as the only 'normal' right now is constant change.
- Pray for continued good health, especially for Chrysti during her pregnancy.
