Torrey's Birthday!!!!

The school took some of the guys to a camp for the weekend. Torrey joined them and had fun with paint ball, ropes activities, and Bible study. I had another girl from my class stay with me. Monday was Torrey's birthday. This is a big deal in Costa Rica so in every class they sang Happy Birthday in Spanish! It was also neat that the Southern Baptist think birthdays are special so his name was on the Birthday list that went out via email for people to pray for him on his special day. Other students had checked their emails and told him Happy Birthday when he arrived at school.
We went with the Murphree's (who will live near us in Peru) to a place to get cake after school. It is a restaurant but was part of someones house. The carport was transformed to hold 5 small tables and serving area. The cheese cake was GREAT! The kids had a really delicious piece of Chocolate cake. I surprised Torrey with a Costa Rica coffee mug to go with his collection.
