We got a little crazy today!

First of all, check out the incredible color and beauty of this tree! Such color! One of the things you have to love about this Country!


Its kind of tough to explain but we had a great time of communion today with the kids. We played and just had a good time. We took more pictures than this blog post had room for, but let me just say almost everyone had to be carried today. Just look at the smiles... Look at their faces! Everyone loved it...

Raquel is such a ray of sunshine!

Lucas is such a special boy! God bless his little heart and life!


Arent these beautiful people! Some of my favorite people in the whole world!

Ok, well I wasn't smiling that much at this particular moment... I was thinking... "oh crap, I might need Dr.Ozment in a minute"... Pedro was having fun anyway!


Samuel had this idea to play "catch" with Andrea... He actually threw her! I thought "ok, I can do this"!


Can you see those budging biceps! Contain yourselves, you women out there! I actually blew it... I just couldn't throw her... I chickened out! I kind of passed her like the uncoordinated dork that I am... So much for my picture on the cover of "harlequin romance novels".


Everybody got handled today... But the point was to "love up" on all the kids, and it was good for them. Everyday we see more walls come down, and we see these kids come to new places of love and trust for us.

This little boy in the picture above, last week punched Raquel in the stomach, bit her, hurt her foot. Raquel had to call the police on him and put him in the street. This boy has seen more hurt and violence in his short life than most adults. He is in so much pain. Raquel took this boy home with her to spend the night and then brought him with her today with us to Waterfall! This weekend has been a time of love for him as well.

I think Andrea was starting to get spoiled... Let me introduce you to the new queen of Sheba!


Today's verse was Acts 2: 42 and our time was all about fun and communion...

What a group of studs!

I have a secret to tell you... When I nibble at finger foods, I always use my pinky and my thumb. Whew, Glad I got that off my chest. Don't know why Raquel was looking at me like that but it wasnt about the pinky thing... I promise... To say the truth my conversations today have been rather silly today, not any different really than the present moment.

We stuffed our faces! We laughed, we sang and played together! It was nice to have a fun silly time together. It was a good day!

Samuel brought 5 kilo bags of sugar for each of the families of our group. What "sweet" guy!
