Guess Who's coming to dinner

A few times our congregation in the states has done a fun program called "Guess who's coming to dinner"  you signed up to host or just be a fun participant.  If you were hosting you were only told how many guests to cook for but not who.  As a participant you were told who's house you were going to, but had no idea who else would be there. It was SO fun and a great way to get to know other member's of the congregation.  

Living here is like signing up to participate in such a program.  Although here, I never know how many mouths I'll be feeding at any given meal either.  
Tonight it was 3 extras.  

MaryKyle went over to friend's house today to sew and play.  If you've been here to Trujillo with a group before, no doubt you know Carlos, Laritza, Karin, Antony and Daniel and their mother Angelina - our kids are great friends and spend a lot of time together.  This past weekend they rescheduled Daniel's b'day party around us (NO we did not intend for them to - aaahhh). 

After sewing and playing, 3 of the kids walked MK home and wanted to stay and wait and walk to worship with us (song service on Friday nights).   Dinner was already on the stove and there wasn't a lot of it, but I added to the pots and extended it a bit to be sure I had enough.  

One can never argue with unexpected houseguests who insist on washing their own dishes though...nope not ever!!  

My life is blessed!!
