Welcoming the Familia Salgado to La Providencia

The second set of house parents moved into their new home yesterday! We welcomed them with much joy and enthusiasm! They were presented with a few symbolic gifts: a pineapple representing the hospitality, love, mercy and grace they will share with all who enter their home; bread representing Jesus Christ, the bread of life from whom they will draw their strength, grape soft drink! (in place of a bottle of wine) representing fellowship and joy and in Christ we always have reason to celebrate, and a childrens' bible to use to instruct the children in the truth of the Holy Scriptures! Then we all shared chinese food! and cake :) It was a lovely afternoon. The house father shared their vision for their home, one simple yet important thing - to teach the children about the truth and love of the Lord.
