Today I went with all the Care For Life field staff on our regular visiting day to Mbatwe (one of the villages we work in), something I haven’t had the time to do in a while because of all the organizational work that I’ve needed to do with the curriculum these days. Man, I missed it—I missed the people. A really sweet and funny thing happened while I was playing with some kids that I sometimes play with while waiting for community classes to start—Celestino came over and was playing with them, too, asking them questions to see who could answer quickest. He asked them their mother’s names, the names of their favorite aunts, and then the names of their favorite uncles. When he asked one of them the name of his favorite uncle, the little guy said, “Rufo!” You have no idea how big that made me smile.

How do you get all the best titles? I mean, you know how I feel about competition and comparisions, but I have to admit, my Ph.D.-to-be status doesn't compare to Favorite Uncle Rolfo! You get all the fun.
But wow, if those kids looked anything like the ones I saw on youtube, that had to be a great day. My personal favorite was the kid in his mother's back sling, scratching the head of the kid in the sling next store. So cute! Side note: those types of slings ROCK.
Other side note: Gabriel--excellent name choice. I think I'm going to steal that one from you (first I compete, now I steal...all this just two days after general conference). Oh well. :)
Wait. You can't name your kids Gabriel. I've been planning on naming one of my kids Gabriel for years. And the cousins with the same name thing would just be too weird.
What?! I've been wanting to name one of my kids Gabriel for years, too! I'm older, duder, I call dibs!
