Jon's First Party

The church people cllected money so they could buy their pastor a nice birthday gift.


This was his gift: two new dress shirts. I was asked to go along to buy the shirts to get the right size and color. That was fun! Here, there are stores dedicated to just men's dress clothes. You can buy everything you need from the shirts to pants to the underclothes and all the accessories.


Our camera's flash isn't strong enough to light up large areas anymore, so all the church people pictures were taken in small groups. This is the group of boys the ages of my boys.


The cakes were pretty and delicious. I had to cut each cake into 40 pieces. Not an easy task. The frosting was manjar blanco, which is a caramel type flavor and texture. But, we did it and everyone got a piece.


Zebulon, known as Zabulón in Spanish, is the ARRIBA student who will be with us until April. He lives with one of our church families. Here, he is singing with the Mrs. of the house where he is staying and the grandchild who also lives there.
