Jeff, Paula, William and Gilma surprised Stephen by joining us for pupusas at Pollos Real on Saturday night. We came back to the house after dinner and celebrated with a strawberry pie I managed to make while he was out walking on Saturday morning.
Jeff and Paula picked us up for church at 8:30 and made a stop at Starbucks to buy Stephen his birthday Mocha. At the 9 am service at the hotel William surprised Stephen by leading the congregation in a rousing rendition of Feliz, Feliz Cumpleaños! Unlike our traditional and short Happy Birthday song, the Spanish version has 2-3 verses! After church, I had time to make one of his favorite meals--breakfast: bacon, eggs (sunny-side up, of course), biscuits, gravy, orange juice and milk.
We didn't have time for a nap after lunch because we left for Nueva Concepcion at 3:00. It was our 2nd to last Sunday with the church. Somehow the congregation found out it was Stephen's birthday so he was serenaded a second time. Paula and I worked with the kids--they made thank you cards for Topeka Baptist Church where Justin Rhoades is the youth pastor. His church collected money to pay for tables and chairs for the kids classrooms.
