Maryuri's First Communion

July 16 - Maryuri has been waiting for this day a long time...the day she'll receive Jesus, and - we must be honest - the day she gets to wear the white dress and veil! Thanks to many of you who have sent dresses, she was able to pick out the one she liked.

The evening mass almost didn't happen, due to torrential rains... M. arrived soaked (as did everyone...all the kids walked, and some great distances... hence, not all dress were pure white! One girl couldn't get there... the river was too high).

What REALLY made me happy is that M. and her brother have continued to come to Sunday mass...actually, the whole class still crams into the first two pews each Sunday, even though they don't have to anymore! They are also asking to continue coming to class. We will start a "perseverancia" group with them.... I'm excited!
