Some local friends gave us this container of special treats from their hometown:
Guess which of the following best describes these individually wrapped morsels: mouse pellets, cocoa beans, donkey skins, or cricket heads? Leave a comment with your guess and we’ll followup later.
Of course, the best gift of all came while we were sitting in the local police station on Friday morning, registering our new residence permit. We received the following message from our son on WeChat (instant messaging app):
Our first granddaughter arrived healthy and hungry on Thursday night (March 22nd) in America!
We are so thankful to God for such a beautiful gift of life and grace!
I have no idea what the special treats are. Choosing at random – I’ll say cricket heads.
Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful granddaughter! She looks like she’s raring to go!
She’s adorable and just the right size! So happy for y’all.
Congratulations on the birth of your precious granddaughter! She is beautiful and definitely has some Robnett features! We’re so happy for you to get another girl in the family!
Such a cutie! Can’t wait to snuggle her as I am sure y’all feel the same way!
