Tonight we attended our very first Quincenera - a celebration of a girl's 15th birthday in a Latin American culture. We didn't stay the entire ceremony which was from 5pm to 11pm, but the time we were there was really fun!The girls had a blast!
When I turned 15 my sister was turning 18 (we both have birthdays in June), and Brazil was playing in the World Cup, so instead of throwing a quincenera for me, my mom decided to throw a party on the best World Cup style. It was different and fun. We had recently got baptized in the church and all the youth was there!

Look how cute I was! Later on I dated three of the boys in this picture! :)
"Blessed are the merciful: for they shalt obtain mercy". - Matthew 5:7
Ways you can show mercy to others
- Does someone owe you money? Figure out a meaningful way to ease the person's burdens.
- Do you have a colleague buried in too much work? Ask him or her how you can help.
- Know a family struggling to make ends meet? Find a way to make their Christmas special.
