About a month ago, Marijke and I met a girl, Rosa, on campus at UFG while we were out sharing our faith. While at first she had a bad attitude towards us coming up and talking with her about the gospel, God quickly took her heart and the girls have been meeting with her consistently ever since. She's become one of our best Salvadorean friends and she's brought along some guy friends with her as well, so Joe and I have had some guys to meet with and poor into a bit.

Well tonight we went out to celebrate her birthday at a Tapas restaurant. I had never had Tapas and was confused what we were doing as we looked at the menu that had no real entrees. So I guess this Tapas thing means you just have a bunch of appetizers as your meal. Anyways, we have this birthday tradition here as STINTers of everyone at the table sharing something they love about the person whose birthday it is, so we did this for Rosa as well. There were so many great things to share about this awesome girl whose life is changing so much right now. But then she turned around and shared what she loved about each of the 7 of us who were with her (5 STINTers and 2 Salvadorean students). Tears came to her eyes as she shared how thankful she was for us, and how God had been using each of us in special ways in her life. It was a real amazing night.
