Friday Night Dinners

We have been enjoying the company of some international students on Friday nights. We eat and have fun playing games. We are a part of a program at the local University called Friends of International Students (FIS) which allows us to be a host family to students from other countries. This school year we have had 2 from Korea, 1 from Japan, 1 from Austria and 2 from Saudia Arabia. My family has loved having them be a part of our family. I have learned so much and will miss all of them when they go home, but I have had a wonderful opportunity to get to know each one. Who knows, maybe one day I will get to go to one of these countries and see them in their homes with their families.
