the joy of family

Last night mom invited a few family members plus a lady from my church who has been my prayer partner for the last several months to our house for a meal and time of fellowship before I leave on Saturday (or Sunday). It was great to feel the support from all my family. I made empanadas, rice with veggies, fresh salsa, cucumber salad, plantains and a tropical fruit salad that had papaya, mango, pineapple, bananas and peaches in it. Then they prayed for me and we watched a movie about what I will be doing in Colombia. I am so excited as I feel God will so some powerful things.
