On our fourth trip, in February of 2011, we participated in Monica’s quinceañero. A quinceañero is a formal affair in Latin America, celebrating a young lady’s 15th birthday. Monica had asked me, on my second trip, to be her “padrino” which is a godfather or sponsor, so we were a part of the ceremony. It was a double quinceañero, with both Monica and Ursula, who are best friends and have birthdays very close together. This trip also gave us more opportunity to build relationships with all of the girls, and get to know the ministry better.
