Debby and Francesca

As we gathered the first morning it dawned on me we had two very special ladies on this project.  One is Nelson's mother Francesca and Debby, team member.  Both of these ladies are amazing in the kitchen.  So I thought it only approiate these two ladies meet each other.  They are both very joyful and content in life especially in their kitchens.  They both take the enjoyment of eating to a whole new level.  So I suggested very carefully Debby help Francesca in her kitchen cooking on the second day.  Francesca as well as Debby are very territorial when it come to their kitchen.  I was praying I had not stepped over the line here.  But most definitely I did not.  These two ladies had a ball cooking the next day and Sarah, Debby's daughter helped as well.  Debby made the rice and Sarah helped make the tortillas.  Debby said she shared with her new friend how in India she cooked this way as well.  Because Francesca was noticing how Debby knew exactly what to do with the wooden stove and chopping and preparing her rice for lunch.  Francesca had prepared the bean soup so all that was left was for Debby to make the rice.  Debby shared she had not had this much fun getting hot in a very long time. It was a blessing working beside Francesca that one special day in her kitchen.

Also how beautiful it was to see Debby and Sarah working together in Francesca's kitchen.  Sarah had so much fun learning how to make the tortillas as her mother cooked the rice.  Francesca was so proud to have these ladies in her kitchen with her.  What a thought might have been a problem became a beautiful blessing.  Debby was most respectful of the kitchen of her new friend.  They became friends very quickly and thank you to Meida who was right there to help translate every word for both ladies.  They all had so much fun and fellowship that morning.  Our two angels this week at the project and on the ministry campus. 

Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.

1 Peter 4:9

Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.
Hebrews 13:2
