We had a quick lunch and headed off to Suzy´s for our first event of the week. See the pictures of Cesia Maria! She is absolutely precious and tiny. For those who don´t know the story, Cesia Maria was born 4 mos ago, premature, weighing 2lbs, with hydrocephaly. Her birth mother had no interest in the baby. She received a shunt to handle the hydrocephaly and is expected tolive a normal life. Social services called Suzy and asked her to take Cesia Maria. Guess what Suzy said... What she always says - Yes. Now at 4 mos she weighs 8 lbs which is STILL less than my boys weighed when they were born! We stayed about an hour. I played with Sallie who has shot up like a weed! Mari, Kelsy, Lettie were there but Elsa and Lucy were out with Tomasa. Aaron Joshue is adorable. I don´t have any pictures of him because everytime he saw me he burst into tears! I am sure it had nothing to do with me, a coincidental gas bubble perhaps! OK, so Minta got a great picture of Aaron Joshue -- in my defense she bribed him with a cool toy. Suzy now has 9 children at her house!
We returned to our Honduran home for a brief rest and a delicious dinner of meatloaf, baked potatoes, vegetables and ice cream! After dinner we played an icebreaker game, sang some songs to Bill´s guitar playing and then Compline led by new team member, Marie from Macon!
Tomorrow is church at Cristo Redentor, lunch at Erika´s, and the afternoon at San Buena Ventura , aka SBV. We are all pretty tired tonight but we look forward to a big day tomorrow. The weather is beautiful so I can´t wait till we get out to SBV
tomorrow.
Bonnie and Jess, we all prayed for Jessamyn tonight and added her to everyoné´s prayer list.
