April update

This has been a short semester for Andy since his Speaking class had only 10 weeks instead of 15. So he's officially done with teaching this semester except for the Engineering students that he's volunteering to teach until the end of May. April 30 was a national holiday for Vietnam and so we had the day off. The Engineering Department delivered a cute little cake for Andy's help. Of course since he doesn't like cakes, Caleb, the students, and I enjoyed it all.

On Easter, Caleb made some colorful Easter (duck) eggs for a few students as well as the children at an orphanage that we visited. I think Andy may post some pictures of one of our visits there later. But here are the colorful eggs that we made together for the first time! We were blessed to see coffee plants at the orphanage. The lady gave us a branch to bring home for study. Caleb and I made a little project out of it. We dried the branch, peeled open the beans, and roasted them in the oven. Too bad we are no coffee drinkers to appreciate the taste. But it was a fun activity.

That's so cool! I'd totally grind it and drink your coffee.
