Korite Party At Sy's House

This past November we went to our friend Sy's house for a Korite party. Korite is the big party at the end of Ramadan which is a month of fasting during daylight hours. As it turned out we were the guests of honor at the party. They treated us like kings the whole time we were there and it was truly a wonderful experience. One interesting cultural note; David was always given preferential treatment ahead of Michelle. It was kind of strange but David enjoyed it nonetheless. We have know Sy since 1992 when we were here as students. He has been the night guard at the school for many years now and over that time we have developed a good friendship with him. Our hope is that he will see God's light shining through us everyday. We had a great time at their house and we hope to invite them to our house one day and treat them as our guests of honor.
