Love does no harm to its neighbor

The first thing NJ wanted to do when he got home was build another truck. I missed a piece that threw everything off and didn't finish. I felt bad, but he just put some wheels on it and started playing with the truck anyway. Baba laughs at how he always puts the smallest tires possible on all the vehicles he makes. I think that's why all our tables and chairs have scratches all over them. Oh well. 

NJ met a new friend today, all three of us did. But she felt like an old friend because she was an extension of our close friends far away. We got to talk and get to know each other over coffee and I took her on an asian market adventure. I'm sure she's never been to an asian market and we went to three. She was here to go on her first mission to mexico. Which sounded a lot like my first recent trip to Japan. So we had much to talk about. Hope to have another chance to see her again sometime soon. She gave NJ some candy and before running off he said to me, "I'm going to save this for later and not eat it right now, ok?" Ok! After making his truck (sort of), double checking his homework, and going over his memory verse, I said he could have his candy if he wanted. I'm glad it was really only half the bag. I told him I was proud of him for making a good choice to save them for later. He memorized his verse pretty quick, I think I might have memorized it too... Love does no harm to its neighbor. Romans 13:10 

NJ likes to brush his teeth himself and insists on flossing which is great. Today he asked me why I go over his teeth again after he brushes. I told him that we have to be sure the teeth are really clean. He says, "Or I have to take my teeth out?" Something like that.
His prayer tonight was thoughtful in including our guest today:
"Dear Jesus, thank you that we had a good day and everyone in the whole wide world will have a good day tomorrow. We just ask you that Baba and our new friend has a safe trip back to where she lives and Baba will have a safe drive back. We pray for a good night sleep. In Jesus name, amen."
