Here's Ellie, enjoying the souvenir that we brought the dogs from the zoo (a monkey). I think she had just stolen it from Taza. Mostly I liked the photo.

This morning we bought 6.5 lbs of strawberries for $1.50 and are going to make some treats. Tomorrow we and most of the participants in the Comunidad Cristiana are going on a mini-retreat for the day. I figured strawberry hot-pockets were just the thing.

I don't have much of a clue about how this retreat will turn out, but I'm super excited that some of our Alpha people are going. My prayer is that it's a time for them to connect socially with other believers and start to feel more ownership for the church. Speaking of Alpha, we delayed the beginning one week. I'm so grateful we've had this week to catch up on life and equally excited about diving back in this week with Alpha leadership training, our Alpha follow-up Bible study, and the first week of the new Alpha course.
