Last weekend was quite the
fiesta!
It was my teammate Angi

so we went to the colonial
city of Granada for an adventure

of ziplining through a canopy of trees!
(My face has a look of terror, but I really did enjoy myself!)
When we returned to CICRIN: Christian Children’s Center on Saturday evening,
we celebrated the Quinceñeara
(15th birthday) of Haissel and Isamar.
(15th birthday) of Haissel and Isamar.
It was a coming-of-age / prom / wedding-like extravaganza!
It began with a procession through decorated archways.
In the lead was a little girl carrying a fancy “15” sign,
followed by another young girl carrying the Bible.
Fifteen couples, the girls’ closest friends, came next,
culminating in the arrival of the girls themselves,
accomplanied by their dates, of course.
Aaron Darlington, my squadmate from Team Clay, participated as an escort.
The pastor encouraged the youth to remain pure and committed to Christ,
then we ate a nice dinner and danced the night away.
Feliz cumpleaños!
