Friends visiting at the hospital

Here are a few pictures of some friends who have visited us over the past few days...

Ben en George visited us on the second day of Menchie's stay in the hospital.. Ben is from the Philippines and has served at the Bahá'í World Centre for more than 13 years now. George is our Dutch friend from the States who has been here almost two-and-a-half years. George will be leaving soon to get married to Ria, who is also a Filipina :)

Evelin and Santana and baby Rocco Nicolas, who is now four months old, came to visit us the next day. Evelin is from Estonia, and Santana from Mexico. They met here in Haifa, got married, and had beautiful (and already big) baby Rocco!

Jennifer and Shahin visited a few hours later. They are both serving at the Health Centre, and shared some valuable insights about breastfeeding and burping, and as you can see from the pictures they made sure the burping was practiced properly by me :)



Sisay and Victor visited the day after. Victor is all by himself now, since his wife Negeen went to the United States, together with their daughter Aliyah, for a family visit. She will be back in Haifa at the end of January. Sisay is from Ethiopia, and has served at the Bahá'í World Centre since 1998. With us is one of the nurses who took care of Enna-Marie, she's actually Persian.

It was wonderful to have all these friends visit us during the days in hospital. Martijn and May, and Shingo and Amelia and babygirl Shiori also came for a visit, but we don't have a picture of that :(
