Happy Birthday Igna

7/2/08
Hoy es mi cumpleanos numero 26! Para celebrar, tuvimos un dia para relajarnos y descansar. Esperamos a que la ropa que lavamos ayer se secara y pudimos usar el Internet por un rato. Pero lo mejor fue la cena que tuvimos en celebracion de mi cumpleanos que cocino la senora de la casa con ayuda de Michael y Amber. La cena consistio en arroz (por supuesto), pollo (que extranabamos tanto), ensalada, maiz y una ensalada de frutas que contenia melon de agua, cantaluope y "Dragon Fruit". De postre, Michael preparo un pie y tuve un bizcocho de cumpleanos. Estuvo deliciosos y nutritivo! Tambien recibi de regalo una postal y un poema de cumpleanos muy gracioso, escrito por las muchachas, eso me alegro el dia. Luego de la cena recibimos un xfile que nos indicaba que debiamos ver un video de los Free Burma Rangers , un grupo de personas que ayudan a las personas que huyen del ejercito birmano. Este grupo brinda ayuda de diversas maneras (medicinas, comida, etc.). Esto, en preparacion para lo que creemos que podremos hacer el dia siguiente, lo que significa que iremos a la jungla!... eso creemos. Gracias le doy a Dios por un ano mas de vida y que lo pase con nuevos amigos aunque extranando mi familia y amigos en casa.

Today is my 26th birthday! And to celebrate, we kicked back and relaxed, waited for our clothes to dry and used the Internet a bit. But the best was the dinner we had in celebration of my birthday which was cooked by the lady of the house with the help of Michael and Amber. The meal consisted of rice (of course), chicken (which we were missing), salad, corn, freshly made lemonade and a fruit salad made of watermelon, cantaloupe and dragon fruit. It was delicious and nutritious! And so what we needed to end the day relaxed. For dessert, Michael prepared a pie and I had my birthday cake. I also got a card and a birthday poem written for the girls, that made my day. After dinner we got an Xfile that told us to watch a video about the Free Burma Rangers which is a group that helps people who are fleeting from the Burma Army. This group helps the in various ways (medicine, food, etc.). This was in preparation for what we could only guess we'd be doing the next day, which means we are going to the jungle...we think. Thanks be to God for one more year of life and that I got to spend it with new friends although I miss my family and friends back home.
