On Pentecost Sunday, the youth choir turned three years old! Started by another missionary three years ago, I became involved in November when she was no longer able to keep directing. We have ample help with adults, teens, and kids ranging from 5-18. In honor of the anniversary, we held a potluck in the church meeting room. We had a wonderful turn out, and, as a bonus, got to celebrate Juan Pablo's 5th birthday (he is in the first row center just right of the cake with someone's arm around him). So, the Church's birthday, the Holy Spirit, our anniversary, and Juan Pablo's birthday all in one day. What a great day to celebrate!
We supplied the cake, while the parish supplied the beans, tortillas, and agua de jamica. The families each brought a guisada, a cooked dish: tinga, rice, potatoes, and other yummy creations. One of my favorite parts was getting to meet the families, and being able to thank them for their children and the time they spent getting their children to choir. Overall, it was a great time of celebrating and a time of fellowship.
