Lourdes' Birthday

Lourdes with her surprise birthday cake

Lourdes and me!




Today we celebrated Lourdes' birthday.  At the Breakfast Program the kids and parents brought her very thoughtful gifts.  The kids came with the beautifully decorated cards for her full of prayer and blessings for Lourdes and her family.  In the afternoon her discipleship group, Don Juan and I surprised Lourdes with a cake.  She loved it!  She said she loves surprises.  I think it was a very special day for Lourdes, full of hugs and love.

In the evening I was invited to join the family for a birthday dinner.  It is also Lourde's son, Aaron's birthday. We enjoyed a nice meal, had a lot of laughs, Aaron chose turtle cheesecake and the servers all sang a very energetic birthday song to Lourdes and Aaron.  It was a wonderful day.
