The Least

On Sunday afternoon we threw a huge Christmas party for more than 1,000 extremely impoverished children and their families in San Martin de Porres, Lima, Peru.

There was a Christmas show for the children, complete with music, dance, games, prizes, and superhero appearances, and then afterward everyone received hot chocolate and a huge wedge of "paneton", which is a delicious Peruvian fruitcake that everyone adores here.

The 1,000 kids and their parents all had a blast.

So did we.

The 1,000 kids and their parents all were greatly blessed.

So were we.

We were able to spend a Sunday afternoon with over 1,000 of "the least", as Jesus said, and in the end we were blessed even more than they were.

Who are you blessing this Christmas season?
