family festivals & fun


Above I am at a literature table with 2 friends who helped. And here is a family I met (he's a pilot) while handing out flyers that day advertising a special week of events! We had a recent, fun-filled, crazy week with 17 youth & sponsors here from the USA who were helping out with various activities of lacomunidadaljarafe

some friends of mine starting a new church community in the suburbs, Bormujos. 
4 of the evenings we all participated in a family festival in a city park, complete with jumping castle, face painting, colored bead bracelets with a story, painting toe nails, handing out literature, a skit & live music (from my friends Inga-- a former intern here-- Esther and Tommy from Germany), and country line dancing thrown in there!
The first night was a July 4th theme (on the 5th!) with over 200 attending. Here I am talking with some college students (they're twins) we'd just met.
