Some more photos from the party...
My birthday celebrations started last Saturday... those of you who read the rock bun incident might be interested in the continuing story. I once again spent a considerable time preparing them determined that they'd turn out better than before. In the end - judging them by the compliments received - it was a success. Nevertheless, I shan't be repeating the experiment!
Arriving in Badajoz, I walked to Lidl to buy a cake to eat with the family I stay with. People must have thought me strange as I walked at an angle so as to shield the creamy cheesecake from the blazing sun. After the Bible study, the youth in the church celebrated my birthday with food and music. Later I played some jazz on the saxophone with my friend Pablo on the keyboard.
Back in Navalmoral, it was nice to open some cards from home and read messages on my computer (my weekend is blissfully computerfree - is that a contradiction today?)... thanks everyone! My colleagues, employers (friends) took me out to eat at a Chinese restaurant. It's my first birthday away from home, but it's been fun. Most of all I thank God for the years He's given me and especially the grace He's shown me so far. I look forward with uncertainty, but Him: never. I choose to walk with Him.
