International Dinner Party

We had the priviledge of eating dinner with Mirta and Gigi last night. The Ohnes' are a family in our church plant team with 3 adorable kids and another on the way. They are servants and are constantly opening their home to welcome anyone in. We were happy to receive the invitation to come and hang out and get to know them better. The Ohnes' are temporarily housing an Egyptian guy named Fadi as he prepares for his wedding in less than 2 weeks to a great Bolivian girl, Raimy. Fadi's friend, Fadi, came over during the meal, another Egyptian guy who is also dating a Bolivian (I think I see a trend here), but is only here for a short time. Gigi is half Bolivian, half German, and of course, Scotty and I completed the group, totaling 4 different nationalities respresented at this small dinner party. We had a blast sharing with each other in English, Spanish, and occasionally hearing a little Arabic. We were over until almost midnight, laughing and eating way more than necessary, but enjoying the classic Bolivian hospitality that we have come to love and desire to replicate in our own home.
