I went out with Wendy and Rosie to continue with our service project for the junior youth. The girl we were suppose to meet with bailed last minute and went with her friend. We didn't have anything to do. Luckily, Rosie invited her friend Ana, so we continued, looking for kids for our program. At first, it felt like a loss. No one was out and and some truly didn't care about the service project we were about it start. That didn't discourage us, just brought us down a bit. It was starting to get dark so we headed back to the car. We decided to ralktoone more family before we went.
As we got closer, I realized that I knew one of the girls. She was Maria's cousin, Claudia. I had met her three years ago when I went to Mexico to see Maria. It was incredible! She had moved here for her education. She didn't understand English at all, so she was reading books and taking different classes. We also met Maria's other family, and it just felt so right. We were all very comfortable and just having conversations, but still focusing on our goal: starting a spiritual empowerment program. Everyone was accepting and loved the concept of the program. They wanted to join! What a small world this is. I'm so happy that we talked to them.
