Friday afternoon, February 20th, all the pastoral team from Spirit and Truth came over and we suprised Dana and had a birthday party for her!! It was a day full of suprises from the time she woke up to the time she went to bed and we ended the night with words of affirmation that we were hearing from the Lord! WE LOVE YOU DANA!
*also, preston's brother showed up that day and he had to be in every picture, can you find him???
We busted out in spanish "Happy Birthday"
We just didn't have one cake.....

everyone is heading for the candy....
This is a comment from Dana, the birthday girl: I absolutely loved every moment of my b-day. I was not expecting in the least everything my family in Mexico did for me. There were times where I laughed my head off, and times I cried tears of joy. I have never felt so loved, appreciated, cherished, valued by so many people. They were telling me I was worth spending time with, that I mattered, that the things God has placed inside me are beautiful and significant to advance His kingdom. Each person from the team wrote a note to me, just touching on things they admired in me, that I had grown in, etc. I couldn't have imagined a better day, really! It was unforgettable.
