It started with many blessings and happy b-days from the REAP staff,
also Robert planned with the help of Christine, her husband Laurence
and the LOGOS Hope team.
He found a restaurant in Monrovia where he was trying to cater from,
but the place was closed for vacations. After few attempts he e-mailed
Christine and Laurence asking for help. Christine by Robert’s request,
baked carrot cake (one of my favorites), and I knew that she was
making Yellof Rice (yes, with F at the end), which is cooked here for
special occasions.
I thought we were having dinner here at home, but didn't know when
because we also were going to the LOGOS ship to meet with the team
who is going to work at the REAP camp.
We left late to meet the team, when we got there I saw the rice pot
and something I thought was the cake, was until then that I knew dinner
was on the ship. What I didn’t know was that the whole Latino group
and few others from LOGOS team were having dinner with us; they
separated few tables at the dinning room for the celebration. One of
the girls brought her laptop to play Mexican music.
They sang the “Happy B-day” in Spanish and the Liberian version in
English; that day the menu for dinner was Mexican food, so was
perfect.
We ate, danced and sang some. It was very special day and thank
God for it because otherwise it would be harder to be far from home.
