women completed bakery school. The sewing ladies were all dressed in brand new clothing they had made for themselves, and also had time to model their outfit, and 1 other outfit they had made for a child or friend. Esther had Itzel model her dress. The teacher shared some brief words and then gave each woman a diploma.Linda preached on all of the great things God has done here in 5 years. How the land used to just be weeds and how far our faith, trust, and prayers have allowed Him to help us here. She challenged more people to get involved here, and see how much more God can bless us in the future.
Then 5 women were recognized and received diplomas for
finishing bakery school. Their teacher shared some words, and let everyone know that these women will be qualified and ready to take over the bakery that is going to be done in the next month, and open for the 2009 school year. These women each made cakes and other sweet breads and treats to share with the congregation once they received their diplomas.Linda closed the service by calling forward all of our current church servants. She honored each pastor, prayer warrior, Sunday school teacher, and grounds worker. She brought forward every garden worker and volunteer along with everyone who has been helping in the construction. We honored everyone that takes care of a goat or other small animal, and every member of the Leon team. These people stood upfront together, received applause, and got to be first in line for the refreshments.
In the afternoon we went to 5-year old, Marilaysi Vegas, preschool graduation party. She had music, a piñata, and a snack dinner. It has been a lot of fun, but really busy the past 10 days in and out of many gradations of all ages. About 6-7 of the youth came to the church shelter and spent time talking and hanging out before bedtime. They had some jump rope, pushup, situp and other silly competitions to pass time. I got my computer setup in the clinic and updated some blogs before falling asleep.
