In the morning, we attended church here at Casa Bernabé. When I entered the room, I was looking around for my family and there, in the front row, my friend had saved a seat for me. That was such a thoughtful gesture for a girl who is facing so much trouble in her life. I am so grateful for the honor to sit by her and worship together (although I felt so bad that I couldn’t sit next to my family).
After church, we went in to all out preparation mode for the huge party we were going to throw the kids. Skit practice, trying up activities, cooking, dishes, and so much more. The team really came together and God provided everything that was needed and more. The smiles on the kids’ faces say it all!
My favorite part of the evening is always bringing a meal to the families and eating with them in their homes. These girls were a riot! They entertained us with jokes and tongue twisters that we failed miserably at.
After the fiesta, we praised God for all He has done for us this year and what He will provide for the new year. And then….fireworks! One of my little friends from the board game house sat right next to me and hearing his excitement was another blessing. We are definitely receiving more than we are giving here.
Your friend was showing you that she loved you and wanted you by her side. You make much sense to her. She will miss you dearly.
