Comedor Fundraiser

With the costs of feeding at least 30 kids Monday - Friday, and then up to 70 kids on Saturdays, the Comedor was running low on money. So when there was a small carnival in the community, Cecilia took the opportunity to do a little fundraiser. A couple of us went on Saturday to help out for through the lunch hour. I have not heard how much money we made, but the Saturday lunch seemed to go very well. So if the Saturday dinner and Sunday meals went well, it would be a successful weekend. Here are some pictures. Hope you enjoy!

Worship in English

I had forgotten how much I missed a worship service in English. Last Sunday, a friend was asked to lead worship at an English speaking church. She asked me to come along to help with translating things (she does speak English, but to make things were understood, she wanted me to come). So, I went with her and 3 other people from my church. It was SO good to sing songs in English. Most of the songs we sang are songs we sing at my church in Spanish, but to sing in your own language is great. I know when I get home, I'll probably miss worship in Spanish, as I really enjoy it, but to get out of the routine, does great things for the spirit!

Alicia has Gone

Well, the 56 days have passed and Alicia has gone...how fast does the time fly! In the beginning, 56 days seemed like a long time, but now that they are gone, WOW!! Yet, when I think about her first day here, well actually her 2nd night, it seems like such a long time ago. When I try to think about what life was like before, it's hard to remember...

It was great having her here. We haven't spent so much time together in a really long time (and not just because I've been Costa Rica, but with college and such...). It was good getting to know each other again. We did a lot together. We went to the beach, we hung out with friends, she helped at the Comedor, talked, ate ice cream ;), etc. Now I'm here trying to get things done, but I seem to get bored very easily without her constantly here to entertain me...

Here's a short recap through pictures:

Guatemala

Here are some pictures of my time in Guatemala. Sorry it has taken so long to get them up. Hope you enjoy!
