First children’s program. The children have been practicing for a
couple of months to present a dramatization of the Creation story. I had finished the costumes and Linda and
Gisela painted faces. The kids made one
last practice, especially our song. The
parents were really supportive and success! One thing was really funny. I led the song off to the side and my job was
to guide the hand motions. The children
were a little bashful and no one could muster the courage and do the
motions. I sure I was a funny site, but
most could not see me. We laughed
afterwards that everyone broke an arm instead of the tradition, “break a leg.” It was a big step for them. The good news was that it reopened the door
for Alba to come. She had her two
daughters and her niece to come and participate. I study
with the niece’s mom, Angelica, but she didn’t come because of the birth of her
son. Alba keeps coming and visiting off
and on. She is the lady who first caught
me in the street and asked where I went to church. The expression, “poco a poco” is a popular statement
here, little by little. I am prayerful
that over time, she will be a dedicated, involved, saved sister, along with her
sister Angelica. For the afternoon, Dwaine helped me get ready for Salcoatitán children’s
class. It was Brianna’s birthday....2 years old! Her grandmother made matching outfits for
Karly and Brianna and Linda celebrated in class with a big cake. The kids (and adults) were delighted!
