MOPS in progress

After a 90 minute round trip I arrived with the girls from the La Loma MOPS team in time for their first exposure to a MOPS meeting in progress. We were minus one lady who had a cold and another whose son had been out of action for 2 weeks with a cold as well. It was a special event with a team from Indiana being there and one of the members of the team giving the talk. It was such a great time and I think the girls were really excited to see MOPS for themselves. Afterwards there was lots of chat about ideas they had and experiences they have lived and are living through. One of the girls has two little boys. Her husband has been working in the USA for a year now. She is hoping he will return before Christmas. Can you even imagine living like that? Yet that is the experience of many here. One lady told me recently, "I am one of the lucky ones, my husband came back!" I am amazed at how the girl on our team has grown spiritually during the course of this year. She is dressed in pink on the left of the picture below.
These are the girls who were able to be at the meeting. The Campanario team were wonderfully supportive wanting the team presented, praying for us and having a lovely little gift for each of us.

Please continue to pray for someone to lead the kids' program. The girl I had in mind has said no so we are still looking for someone. Please pray that the person God has in mind for this role will be made evident. We meet again this week Thursday for planning.
