Thank you so much to everyone who supports us regularly, and those who have given special gifts. It is because of you that we were able to bless two very special families today. We have been very blessed to have a wonderful security guard, and a wonderful nanny/cleaning lady. Today we were able to return some of that blessing to them. We had Francisco, Maribel and their families over for a full Christmas Dinner (with turkey in place of ham, which is $6 a pound.) Most of it was food they had never had, and certainly can't afford. We were also able to bless them with Christmas gifts. Really, none of this would have been possible without some of the special gifts we have received recently as we ourselves are on a tight budget. We are so happy and were so excited to have this opportunity. Thank you!
The food we were able to give each family cost almost a week of their salary (which is about $25)
Maynor loves his new hoop, as does Joy as she had been pretending to be the basket lately.
Emma asked to give that car to Daniela, Maribel's daughter, which shocked us all because she loves it. I sure hope that is a sign of a generous spirit to come.
The whole group, from L to R - Francisco (our gatekeeper), Maynor, Alba (his wife), Maribel (our nanny), Edi and Daniela (her family,) Joy, Rachel, Ken and the girls.
Thanks Rachel for the wonderful pictures!
Stay tuned for more updates from our week with Rachel.
Miss you all!
