Cinco de Mayo! Haaayyo!!!

The dinner went off like fireworks!  Everyone was so excited and left the party with full tummies and happy hearts;)  I think we had around 35 people which was right at what we expected.  Jim and Barbara were so excited to be able to relax and only worry about eating that night!  What a blessing it was to give them the night off.  We all had a blast and even turned up the mexicano tunes while we served everybody.  I was the burrito roller and sour cream technician;)  I'm a little heavy handed when it comes to sour cream so I was graciously directed by each person on how much to slop on.  The first person wasn't so lucky....would you like a burrito with your sour cream?

10 pounds of taco meat.  This actually looks a lot smaller than it was.  Picture a turkey sized aluminum dish full to the brim!  YUM!

Kelly and me!  I met Kelly over 2 years ago when I went with a church group to feed the homeless downtown.  She was the only woman in a crowd of hungry homeless men who didn't approach us to eat.  It was freezing outside and she was sitting on a bench down the way huddled in an over sized sleeping bag.  I walked over to her, quietly sat next to her with a hot plate and introduced myself.  The rest is history!!!  I LOVE her so much and she has been such a blessing to me!  God has used her in amazing ways and she is such an inspiration:)

Edwin taking a break after setting up the table for the fixings!  Edwin was in charge of stuffing the burritos with meat and made my burrito rolling very challenging with his generous portions;)  Haha!


Our life group came out to help serve and provided some of the sides to go with the dinner!  It was awesome to work together and we are very thankful they came out to show Amazing Love....LOVE:)  We are hoping to do this again in the near future!!!
