Selah and Malachi update

Just a quick note on how the kids are doing:

Malachi is officially walking now-except when he sees a sympathetic female who is willing to pick him up and love him. All of the sudden, his legs just don't seem to work :) He's saying lots of words, or at least trying to. He imitates ALL the sounds he hears, chinese and english. When Carrie walks with him on campus, he spends the entire ride waving and smiling at the passersby. He's a picky eater and still only has 2 teeth. He loves to read and do his animal noises. Selah is his hero.

Selah is still having a hard time with the kid at school. But her chinese is getting better and better. In fact, this week she and I had a conversation in Chinese and she told me afterwards "Mom, your Chinese is getting really good!" Ya, thanks Selah :) Last week she gave our leftovers away to a student without us even suggesting it. She's got a very caring heart and is attached to all our teammates. She welcomes the students into our home and asks them questions about their lives.

They are such a blessing to have as partners here.
