Pre-Quinceañera

The girls at the House of Peace orphanage are getting ready for their Quinceañera on August 14th! Three of the girls recently turned fifteen and are having a joint party. In Mexico this is like a sweet sixteen but a much bigger deal. On Sunday they got all dressed up and did a trial run on their hair and make-up for pictures for the invitations. Marilu, Adela, and Lupita looked beautiful. It was so great to see them feel so special. We also got a great honor of being asked to be Marilu's (in the blue) godparents. At some Quinceañera's the girls are presented with a Bible and she asked us to be her presenters. We are so excited to get to do this for her! I can't wait till next month so see them all "done up" and look like little princesses for a day. We are so grateful to be a part of these young women's lives.
