August 28, 2016

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!
