Spencer and his friend Anne went to the Festival of Colors in Spanish Fork. They have this every year and it represents the beginning of new life. It is at the Sri, Sri Hadna Krisha Temple. For several years Coby has gone to it. He would have gone with Spencer if we weren't out of town.
Last weekend Coby participated in the Model Arab League.
The competition is similar to a role-playing game where students act like the leaders of their assigned country by making proposals and resolving issues. These issues ranged from chemical warfare between Syria and Israel to passing a resolution on the creation of robotic camel jockeys.
Because Coby lived in Jordan and speaks Arabic he had a great advantage. There were people from all of the the United States, with a total of around 150 people. Coby got an award there. He got 2nd place or Honorable Mention for the way he acted in the Regional Competition.
Below is a picture of him and some of the other students who won awards.
Here is a a picture of the group he was in.
