It’s so much fun to watch the Buen Pastor girls sing. They’re enthusiastic. They move. They laugh! Yesterday, they sang for their families who come to pick them up Friday afternoons. This is my third concert and the first time I’ve been able to sit through dry eyed.
One of the girls, however, cried the entire concert. She was sobbing so hard, for a moment I thought it would be better to remove her and comfort her. When the concert ended, she ran into my arms and I asked her why she had been crying. She told me that she misses her mother. Her mother and father died four years ago.
Sometimes I feel there is so much joy at Buen Pastor because there is so much pain.
I suspect the crying girl was our little Brenda, eh? She is lucky to have you as a friend.
Aren’t they beautiful! It’s wonderful to be able share the joys and sorrows at Buen Pastor even from half a world away.
JB, I’m looking into transferring Swiss francs into dollars to deposit in my American account for bills and other things. At that point I’ll be able to use PayPal again and can send some funds your way…
