Baby shower

Having a baby shower in Peru is practically unheard of. And especially not among those who are not economically privileged. You can imagine Vanessa's excitement when I told her we are hosting a baby shower for her. She is due the end of April, with a boy. Luz Marina told her, "you are so lucky, I never had a baby shower." And all the women who attended have never even been to one before. So this was fun for me! We had some games, food and even gifts. It was great that she felt so blessed by her church family. She expressed that she really wants to raise her son in the ways of God. Amen.

This is a wonderful thing for the women of the church there to be a part of. I'm glad they enjoyed it. You have shown them by this example that they are members of God's family and they show His love to one another in giving. I like the painting on the walls in the picture. How bright and cheery!
