We celebrated a birthday today with an early wake-up and serenade along with creative cards. In the comedor, we all sat for the morning meal and were greeted by familiar faces and smiles of those we met the previous day. Daniel and Annie even got a rousing game of blackjack going, finding connections with those they met in creative ways. At the same time, Gabriel and Sophia learned the harsh reality of crossing the desert from their new amigo Carlos who got so hungry he caught and ate rattlesnakes. In the afternoon we spent time with teens from a local high school talking about their lives and making connections. They wore their faith on their sleeves advocating for each other and the issues of their area.
Having been here for a few days now, we are finally getting into a groove and hitting our stride with our routine.
Buenas noches
P.S. Happy birthday Jesse
