Life in The Family International

What did one frog say to another frog?
“Time is sure fun when you’re having flies.”

Here’s how October went down:

4 attendees and 3 staff members from our home had a blast at the BLAST camp (har har, overused pun) from the 9th till the 14th of October. To those of you who prayed for us and sent well wishes, THANK YOU! The classes were motivating, the people were wonderful, and the music was… loud! (I’m kidding. It was also very good).

I had a happy moment at the camp’s talent night when the girls from my home performed “Ojos así”, which is a belly dance number. They learned it from a dance institute that gives us free lessons, and I think they rocked!

Then, we have a friend who’s life is apparently SO much happier since he met us that he invited us all the way to the other side of Mexico (state of Sinaloa) to introduce us to his family. Well, when I say “us” I really mean 3 members of our team, because I can’t always have all the fun, so I stayed back with the house and kids. I’m a bit kidded out at the moment, but it was worth it.

And now that October has ended and November is beginning we are all about Christmas caroling! Practice practice and a bit more practice will hopefully make us perfect, and perfect is what we need because next Friday we have our first contract to sing at a local mall. Yikes!

So that’s what we’re up to these days, aside from all the other things we’re up to.

After many years of doing office-type missionary work, Florecita is testing her hand as a field missionary. She is currently the counselor of a group of teenagers, does outreach, restaurant singing… and anything that is needed to help her center and its projects keep momentum. She is also an aficionado of photography and hopes that with it she can show the world a little more of The Family International, its projects, and the wonderful people in it. More about Flo
