may 31 (delayed due to low tech blogger)
Our team had its first bat encounter-but it was much differentthan expected. Thank goodness for teenage boys ,their bravado amid squealing for excitement involving a bedtime bat sighting. It did involve a vacuum .Ask to see the video.
We awoke to exotic bird calls and had a quick breakfast. We worshipped inSan Ignacio at St Andrew church. It is such a peaceful respite to spend time here before our harried, scheduled week takes off. Jack was recognized as a birthday boy and tolerated congregation singing.
FCPC folks we did pass the peace --to EVERYONE.
We divided after lunch into 2 groups. Six took off to Eden school graduation where we had three sponsored students walk the pomp and circumstance shuffle. Laura was excited to meet Osmin, the student she has sponsored for several years. Two other students, Neomi and Orbin also graduated. We were proud to share this accomplishment with them. There were proud mamas, papas,grandmas, and us!
The others went to LasTambos to make family photos, assess the needs and play with the kids. And we sang Happy Birthday for the third time todnight with cake and whipped cream. Tonight we packed up 250 lbs of rice and beans in gallon bags -rady for distribtion on Monday.
It was a good day, we sweated, laughed and were humbled by being on holy ground.
