Day 8 - Rest

After a long, hot week of hard work and focus on the kids, the team at Dulce Refugio blessed us with an afternoon to decompress from the intensity of our time here.

We piled into the vans and drove about two hours to Guanajuato, a historic town with strong European influences nestled in a valley between the mountains. We ate lunch, learned a bit about the town, and then walked down 275 steps to the town below.

We had about four hours to explore the town before piling back into the vans and heading back to Aguascalientes for dinner.

The highlight of the evening, though, was the opportunity to hear the life story of Marcella, the founder and director of Dulce Refugio. Her life has been filled with pain and hardship, but it's amazing how God has used her pain to bless so many children.

Marcy shared with us for over an hour, and then we celebrated our new friendships with dancing and singing around a bonfire.
