Santiago (continued)

We had a good crowd- 103 folks-many were kids. I noticed a few who had dressed up especially for the event- new straw hat, a bit of lipstick, etc. Padre Juan Carlos was on top of the world, of course! I was the official Regional Director (actually, "holder-of-the -microphone" would have been more accurate!) Afterwards the parish gave out clothing items to the needy. One of the most touching events was a quiet lady who came up and give both Padre Juan Carlos and me three beautiful avocados each as her offering!
