Total of 24 children who worked very hard to come to little old Syracuse Utah. Five adults who were parents of some of the children came to chaperon. Syracuse Elementary teaches Chinese.
So this was a wonderful opportunity for the children in the program to interact with their new friends! Families in the program volunteered to have the Twain children in their homes for three weeks. Three weeks of learning, cooking, exchanging traditions, and touring Utah.
My dauther Jenny and her husband Mitch was a host family for a Mother her son and one other child.
What a non stop hetic three weeks.. but may I add.... what a great union to bond with people you have never known and yet fill a strong kinship! I was able to bond with Judy the mother of one of the boys. She loved my book.. she wanted me to make her a bag.. she bought me a box of tea as a gift and she was constantly rubbing my back as she let me know she liked me.. and I liked ( loved) her back

Judy I hope you are reading this because their are tears in my eyes as I write about my friend who is far far away.. May you be blessed with special blessings in your life. You made me want to be a
