La Mejor Amistad de Todas

The Best Friendship of All was the theme for today's women's ministry breakfast.  Praise the Lord over 100 women attended!

The morning started with a sharing game at our table. Each of rolled a die and answered the corresponding question.  Questions included:  What was your most embarrassing moment?  What is the most daring thing you have ever done?  If you were going to print a T-shirt, what saying would you put on it?  Who is your favorite Bible character and why?  Anyway, you get the idea and can imagine that there was tons of laughter.

After a typical Salvadoran breakfast, we were privileged to watch a parody of the court room drama, "Case Closed."  Each of the three cases featured two ex-friends with one of them feeling that that she had been  wronged by the other.  It was definitely a hilarious take on friendship with the judge quoting a Bible verse and telling the friends to "hug and forgive."


I pray that my short devotional, "Friendship Requires Action," challenged the ladies.  If we want to be friends and have friends, we can't sit passively by.  We must take action to encourage, challenge, enjoy and develop our friends.

Thanks for all of you who prayed for me over this past week and this morning.  Enjoy a few pictures of the event!
