Colonia Valdense

I went with Wilma today to Colonia Valdense. She did a seminar on the natural development of the church. It was very interesting, from what I understood. On our way back to Montevideo (a two-hour drive) we stopped at a family´s house who Wilma knew from before. They have a 10-year-old daughter who has been wanting a television and that has been her only wish for a while now, and a television was available and we got to take it to this family. It was beautiful. The family works hard for what they have, and the wife was very welcoming and made us all coffee. It was great to see their faces when they opened up the box with the tv in it. I cried.
