We had a blast this weekend with a beach party theme in my apartment... even though students are beginning final exams, it seemed a great chance to "catch" a few before they really get tied up in exams, or some head out for the summer months... some of the guys here had a "Kodak moment" under the beach umbrella! Maggie and others did a great job decorating...
above are Boomer (intern in Bormujos for 10 weeks from Oklahoma) and Lenny. And on the back row: Francisco, Carlos and Hendrik (aka Enrique, in Spanish)!
Hendrik kept running into several guys on campus -- and they came to the party! One of them saved the day for Natasha, a new intern, too, by finding her iPhone which she'd left on a bench!
Fran, Carlos and Lenny pretending to be on the beach!
Even though the temps have turned surprisingly cooler recently, I still tried to "fake it" by putting my toes into the pool on my balcony & asked Abraham to pull off his sandles for a foto.
Of course, the girls had to have their photo shoot as well-- me with Leti (Leticia) and Inma (on front row), and Natasha, Maggie and Christy in the back.
This is Father's Day in the US, and I wanna wish my wonderful Dad, and my marvelous brother Bruce a VERY Blessed Day! Bruce is one of my heroes... how he makes time with men to mentor them early in the morning before they head out to work; teaches in his small group; balances a busy church life as one of the key pastors with great NEW ideas... and carves out special, fun moments with his family.
Here is Dad teaching a group of college students while in Sevilla visiting. I could not have a better father! He is my hero, in how he sacrifices for his family, has a global vision, emphasizes the power of "ONE" and mentoring. Plus he's a fantastic communicator. He prays for us, & encourages me (his spiritual gift is exhortation; encouragement!) to be ALL that God wants for me, without limits -- he makes me feel as if I could fly!
