Yesterday was Dia de las Naciones at church! It's a day where we all get to celebrate the lovely cultures of Latin America that fill our congregation, and talk about the missionary work going on and how we can be a part of it. I love this day because you get to see everyone dressed up in traditional attire from their countries. The little kids are always adorable and it's a beautiful array of colors. This year, we were joined by the Bowens! Poor Cristina was so bored during service haha but it always feels so good to have them there. I know lots of people were really excited to see Karla and to finally meet David. So many people wanted to hold him! I think people forget how uncomfortable babies can be when they're passed around too much, or how easy it is for them to get sick. It was still sweet though. And we had a huge lunch filled with lots of delicious foods from all our countries. It was good eatin' let me tell you. The ladies did a brilliant job. And then Jaroll, MVP of the day, played his trumpet during lunch. He played every single national anthem. Of course he started with the United States, the patriot he is. But he played all of them beautifully. They're not easy to play, believe me. Karla, my mom, and I belted the words to the Salvadorian anthem as he played. We're a proud people haha. Honestly, yesterday was so good. I'm glad we could have fun together.
Life is crazy and I'm so glad I'm a planner. I have two things planned in November that haven't been written down. But basically the rest of this month and every weekend in October is booked! Thank God for online editable calendars.
