Lunch Anyone?

Our visit to Eliza Martinez was incredible!!! I think it was so much more than I could have imagined but it was just the beginning of our Shoes for Orphan Souls Missions Trip.
We left Eliza Martinez for lunch. Everyone speculated on what it would be. We were going to Pradera Concepcion. I looked that up when I received our itinerary and found that it was a mall. A mall that resembles ours in many ways. They have a Sears, many stores and of course a Food Court. What would a mall be without a Food Court. I am not the Queen of fast food so I determined to make the most of it. The great thing is that they have fast food that is there's alone(although I hear that they are now in Texas) Pollo Camprero. I was glad that our choice for lunch was Pollo Camprero, Subway or Domino's. You see, for me a part of going other places is experiencing the food that you can only get there. Why would I want to eat at a Subway or Domino's when I could have Pollo Camprero. It is a fast food chicken restaurant with a little different preparation and flavoring. Everyone that ate there thought it was good.
The guys in the picture were the young men that had once been in the Eliza Martinez Orphanage. All the others were those who had travelled from all over the US to go on the Shoes for Orphan Souls Mission Trip

Giving of Shoes at Eliza Martinez

The time had finally arrived. Our first opportunity to put shoes on the boys feet at Eliza Martinez. It is one of those things that unless you experience it for yourself you may not be able to fully comprehend the magnitude of it. Let's just say it was one of many of the highlights of our trip. After taking part in Shoes for Orphan Souls Shoe Drives for two years and now being able to see it full circle, now that is exciting. We took turns in going out in our groups to put shoes and socks on the feet of the orphans.

When they began to get the shoes out, I saw these camouflage tennis shoes that I just fell in love with. I so wanted to put those shoes on one of the guys feet. I went on about my duties and when it came my turn, the Lord so worked it out that the camouflage shoes were the very pair that I was able to place on the feet of one of the orphans.


God is so good!!!!!!
