B-day and Susticacan

We had a busy week last week. I won't say too much because you can follow the stories through pictures and my descriptions on my flickr.

First off, we had a fun fun birthday party for one of the little tykes that is part of a family that we help out. Baby Juanito turned 1, but looks more like a 2 year old. We had lots of kids come over to the office. I had a lot of fun taking pictures of the kids and playing with the kids. I think I was the clown for the day. I blew up balloons for them and we fed them lots of good food. A lot of these kids were from very poor families too. Some of the little girls who were no more than 4 years old ate more burritos than I did. And for those that know me, that is unbelivably amazing.

Next up, we took a very fun trip to Susticacan. We went to the campgrounds there next to the lake. It was a beautiful drive and I very much enjoyed just sitting at staring at the beautiful landscapes that God has created for us. Zacatecas is starting to remind me a lot of the beautiful changing landscapes of California. We had 51 people in total! It started raining really hard too. I don't think I have ever enjoyed rain as much I did that day. It was just fun to stand underneath the rain , close your eyes, and just enjoy the moment. The drive back was interesting too since we had 4 trucks and it was really raining. I must thank my awesome first aid kit that came with an emergency blanket that probably kept me from being sick.
