4th of July BBQ... well, sort of

We had a small little gathering that happened to fall on the 4th of July here tonight. No fireworks, but lots of fellowship and mountains of food. JOsie Bockelie talks about the evening.









Tonight we had a Barbeque with the Casa hogar Kids and the Local Youth Group kids from Vida Nueva in Mante (132 people). One group of kids from CUMC helped the Casa Hogar kids to facilitate Peter's Walk to the Vida Nueva youth group and the other CUMC group was hanging out in the main building fellowshiping with the youth who had been through Peter's Walk already. After everyone had gone through Peter's Walk, CUMC served the food for the barbeque. We had Carne Asada (35 kilos) with guacamole and salsa (30 liters), we also had bean soup (44 kilos of refried beans). The spicy guac and salsa killed all the americans taste buds. The locals all laughed at us when we told them it was muy hot.

After we were done eating we all went outside in the still drizzling rain and played a game. Everyone links arms in a circle with a chair in the middle, if you touch the chair, you're out. With everyone pushing and pulling in oppostite directions i'm surprised more people didn't get hurt.



It was cool to see these very different groups come together.
