An Incredible Fiesta


About a month ago, Pedro gave all of the Youth for Christ volunteers a task to complete. All were entrusted with 20 US dollars, which they were to treat as talents. (If you don´t know what I´m talking about, refer to The Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25:14-30). They were asked to work creatively to increase their talents. Just as Randy and Jon were beginning to run out of time in their assignment, the idea arose. To increase their talents, Jon and Randy decided to throw a crazy party! It would be a night full of Mexican food and Country dancing. After much preparation.... we managed to pull it off. We all worked together to make this party a success. We printed out invitations and invited everyone we knew. Yesterday around 3pm we began cooking and assembling 120 miniture burritos with a team of about 8 people. We just finished as our first guests arrived. Man, the party was awesome. We danced, we laughed, we ate, we demolished a homemade piñata... good times were had. All in all we ended up having about 45 guests. Just enough to make a slight profit on our 10Bs cover charge. The funds will go toward the construction of the best stinking camp in Bolivia and the memories will last forever.
