Day 2: Women's Group

I don't have many pictures from this day. But it was an eventful day no doubt!

Starting at 10:00 am, pretty much every day, We had what we call Santa's workshop! We split the women's group up into different teams to accomplish many tasks. The teams were either wrapping Christmas gifts for that specific childrens home we were going out with for the day, baking sugar cookies, building a picnic table, preparing lunch, preparing dinner, or going into our school here on campus, Sierra Madre Christian Academy, and helping decorate ornaments for their Christmas Tree!

Meanwhile, we have Christmas music blaring to really get us in the Christmas Spirit.

We ate our lunch and then headed out to a mountain so we could hike with Casa Hogar Manantial de Amor. The mountain is called Chimpinque! It has such a beautiful outlook over the city.
Well, during santas workshop we had some people making painter's palette's. So, each women was paired up with one or two kids from the childrens home. They had to find different things that were on their painter palette. After they found everything they all met at one specific tree. While they were out finding the stuff on their palette's, some of the staff put ALL of their presents under the tree:)
So when they all hiked up to the top of the mountain their presents were under a big forest tree! They loved it.
After opening presents the kids from Manantial had a time of testimonies and it was very powerful.


Then we headed home and had a lasagna dinner with all the teen girls that live on our property! We made 9 lasagnas, had 75 rolls, and yummy salad for everyone. The teen girls had also prepared a little something. They wanted to do a prayer time over the women. It was a very spiritual fed evening that was ended with a SUPER fun game called PIT. if you do not have it, i would plan on purchasing the card game for the holidays with family!
