We were blessed to make a new friend a couple days ago! Janete is at the end of a 4 month trip to the USA through an exchange program. She's from Ponta Grossa in Parana, Brazil. She is taking the train from Los Angeles to New York for her flight back March 31st. She needed a place to stay for 2 nights and called churches in Denver. The 8th church she called actually answered and it happened to be Antioch Baptist (the church we rent on Sunday nights). Lee called Desi, knowing we were from CA to see if we were open to having her stay with us. Come to find out, she was living at Calvary Chapel Youth Camp (which we've been to many times with Jr. High kids). Her roomate is Kelly, who Desi and I knew from Bible College. What a wonderful God to put us together! All three kids loved Janete, but especially Hope, who was really sad to see Janete go when we dropped her off at the train station.
It snowed Monday, so we stayed home. My parents got to meet Janete. On Tuesday, we took Janete to the children's museum for a few hours and on a short driving tour of Denver. Thankfully the sun came out! Owen loves the snakes at the museum.
