George and Ria are here...

We had dinner this evening with our friends George and Ria Costant who are here for pilgrimage. It was so nice to see George again who left the World Centre a year ago. Although the dinner was late, we all had a great time, catching up with this couple, talking about their community and the cluster they are presently in and also about married life (they got married last year April). Martijn and Eric, who are also close friends of George, came as well. Enna-Marie was quiet and shy at first when they arrived, but afterwards she went active and moving all around the house. She usually points to Oom George in the picture we have in our kitchen cork board when asked. We have a picture of the three of us there with George, taken at his farewell night. Enna-Marie was just 2 months old then. Ria is originally from the Philippines, her parents are both Filipinos (her mom is from Ilocos while her dad is from Manila), but was raised and grew up in the States. She speaks fluent English, speaks a little bit of Tagalog, but understands everything when someone speaks the language.
