WOW! What an awesome way to celebrate my 34th birthday! I was even sung Happy Birthday to in Portuguese by new friends from Lisbon!
While it was tough to celebrate my birthday without my family, I still had one of the best birthdays of my life.
With Pastor Cindi Angelo´s worship choir, "Shekinah," leading the people of Argana Alta in awesome praise and dance, how could I not have a great birthday!
Afterward, I was able to talk with Cindi and some of the girls from the choir, and I found out that Cindi and I share the same birthday. How cool is that?
It was awesome to talk and make friends with these ladies, even though their Spanish and mine isn´t the greatest. That actually made it better, because there was no intimidation. We could relax and freely speak our own, slow, broken Spanish without fear. It was great!
Please pray that I would be this free in using the language with those who are more fluent. Spanish is really a great language!
Blessings,
Kris
