Tonight we had our annual chinese New Year dinner with our team. We're blessed to have teammates who so eagerly join with our family in this important cultural celebration. Of course, who wouldn't if it means getting some of Maureen's cooking. This year we had fried rice, rice and beef satay, stir fried vegetables, and baked chicken. All the kids enjoyed getting their traditional ang pow (red packet) from Auntie Maureen. Jenna and Louise came over in the afternoon to help with the preparations. This year's celebration seemed to mean more to everyone as we realized that this is the last one that we will celebrate in Togo with this team.
We do wish all of you God's richest blessings in the new year.
By the way, this is Maureen's year. I get a kick out of telling people I married a dog. Of course, that only applies to the Chinese zodiac, as the photos below will readily attest. (Shouldn't they have called it the year of the fox?)

These were the first words out of Kenny's mouth yesterday. He will probably make Maureen speak Chinese for him when he sees her again.:-) He'll be thrilled to meet someone who actually speaks Chinese!!
Yum, Anthony! I saw earlier this week that it was Chinese New Year, and as I was looking up your blog yesterday I said to David, "What do you want to bet that Anthony posted about their Chinese New Year celebration with the team?" Sure enough, I was right! :)
Patty's right -- we will have to have a big WAMR reunion stateside in the next couple of years!
