Friday, June 5

Today we spent time with friends and celebrated their deceased father's birthday. We started by attending mass at the Catholic church. Isaiah' school was there as well. They attend mass the first Friday of every month. Then we went to the cemetary with flowers, confetti and sang "Happy Birthday" to him. Later on at the house we ate goat, salads, and flan. The priest came over for awhile. Then the municipal president. And a few other extended family members. All the cousins (of which they include Micah and Isaiah in) played really well together. We stayed into the wee hours of the night talking and laughing. Everyone shared about his or her struggles, and we all supported one another. Happy Birthday Eloy.
