We hear our stateside friends and family experienced some chilly weather last month. For the record, I am not at all jealous. In fact, you can come our direction if you’d like – we’re willing to share the sun and surf with you anytime! 🙂 Until then, here are 28 February pictures for you!
As we wait for in-person classes to start up , we’ve been able to provide families with small, weekly food kits!

What a bunch of birthday sillies! 
Happy, happy birthday, Leyton! Thanks, Rach, for making his cake! 
Finally got to the end of the Christmas puzzle – and guess what?! One missing piece at the base of the big tree. Grrr. 
Burns are a common occurrence here. Susan and I visited a young boy who had woken up in the middle of the night and stepped on a small pot of hot oil at the foot of his bed. 
The grandma said her doctor told her to use the seed of this nettle-like plant to boil a salve to heal the burn. 
The medicine concoction, complete with a feather! 
The Simoses planned a Valentine’s party for all the MK’s – they had help from several of our missionaries and interns!
