O Sonho da Minha Vida...

Way up on top of the steep take-your-breath-away-Mosteiros mountain, the mayor and other leaders held a water celebration!  They had a live band, food, and speakers.  It was a Happy Moment to talk about the blessings of water pipes coming into their homes and how someday they could dream of having bathrooms right in their homes like in the cities.  They spoke of some electricity there already, and the future being full of promise.  Toward the end of the program which started over an hour late, (which means about on time here) there were many more people gathered.  A tour of a few of the homes that have water now!


Before we left her casa this sweet lady shook our hands in profound gratitude for the part The Church played in making it possible for her to have water inside her house!  She paused and exclaimed: 
"Este é o sonho da minha vida!"
 (This is the dream of my life!)

It is quite a thing to see some of the projects  that people help other people with all around the world.  I am thankful to belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints.   Humanitarian help is given to members and non-members alike.  I love that...because there are no non-children of God.
Each one matters to Him.
ALOT.
