Here is Rebekah's birthday interview. She was drawing a blank on a lot of things, so it took awhile for her to come up with some of the answers! Because of that, the video is almost 15 minutes long. If you don't want to sit through all of her thinking, the text version is below. =)

What is your favorite thing to do with your friends? Play
I think the times when I have the most fun is when I’m spending time with my family and playing a game or watching a movie, and my little brother Daniel and my little sister Hannah, well, as long as they’re not (especially Hannah), as long as they’re not making noise, that’s when I’m having the most fun.
What is your favorite thing to do with Daniel? Playing with Hannah’s ark
What is your favorite thing to do with Hannah? Dress up, maybe
Where is your favorite place to go? Aradhna, that’s our new church
What do you love about going to Grandad and Grandma’s house? I like to play at their house, we brought over some of our toys. And they have boxes from their refrigerator, their washing machine, and their oven. And there are three of us children…. There are three boxes, three children, so one box is mine, one box is Daniel’s, one box is Hannah’s. Sometimes we trade if we don’t like the box we’re using.

What would you do if you could stay up all night? Read and help Amma and Appa.
Where would you go if you could go anywhere in the world? Well, I would… I think I would pretty much go anywhere in the world the airports and ships and traveling stuff would let me in and tell people about Jesus.
What makes you happy? Well… most of the time I’m happy about different things. But whenever I’m happy about not a thing… like not things like toys and stuff like that, but not things you can hold, when I’m not happy about things like that, I’m happy that Jesus came into my heart to stay.
What make you sad? When I’m not sad about things that you can hold and things like that, I’m sad that a lot of people, especially in my own country which is India, don’t know Jesus. Cause if you know Jesus, you’ll go to heaven, and you will… in heaven there will be no sickness, not thorns or cactuses, no meat eaters… I mean like no animals eating people and stuff.
What do you wish you could do? Grow up faster
What makes this the best birthday ever? I don’t know. I’m not even sure this is the best birthday ever because I probably haven’t gone through all my birthdays yet.(Our literalist!)
