Today was great day. We visitied Saint Mary`s Episcopal Cathedral fro services. The church was joyful with people of all ages in the service. At the Passing of the Peace everyone made sure to shake everyone`s hands with a big smile. You felt like everyone wanted to be there and was glad to share that time with you. At one point our own Jesse Perkins went up to the front with some locals and had a Birthday blessing done for him in Spanish. The priest knew everyone elses name but not Jesse so he just said`”Gringo” in the place of his name. I told Jesse not to worry, that would still count.
Afterwards we took some of the youth who had been super good to McDonalds. This was a huge treat for them. They were smiling ear to ear. It is one of the few times Mcdonalds was a Holy Meal for me.
And then came the rains. I mean a lot of rain. So playing has been cut short today, but we managed to get in a little Soccer and some of the “Blink” card games. Alan and Becky also tried their hands at some jewelry making with the kids. You may hear me laughing in the video a lot here, as a Jeweler, Alan makes a great communications person.
