Today we did a bead craft… a very difficult bead craft designed for small kids. They were keychains but most everyone wore them as bracelets.
I sat, trying to help ten or so kids asking questions-- all at the same time. Most of the time, I did not know the answer but I said "sí" as if I knew what they were talking about. They seemed satisfied.
It was a blessing to see these kids just light up when they completed the task of spelling out "Confiar en Dios" (meaning "Trust in God) on their bracelets.
I knew that what seemed like a simple basic bracelet to me meant the world to them and that they would most likely be holding on to those bracelets when I came to visit in the years to come.
