Last night Monse informed me that Doña Paula, our housekeeper, was recently put in a leg cast.
A few weeks ago she was hit by a car while walking home. She suffered some bad bruises, swollen knees, a cut on her head, and a broken big toe. Despite these ailments, she had been slowly recovering and coming to the house to do what cleaning and cooking she could.
However, because she was put in a cast for her toe, Monse said she would not be able to work for them for the next month.
Monse was bummed because she is already a busy mother and the help around the house is gladly appreciated.
Well, anyway, Amanda said she would be helping with the dishes and clearing the table and what not. I smiled and said, "And I can help too."
Monse thanked me and in my mind I thought:
"Maybe this is the chance for me to cook for my family!" And "Maybe this is the chance for me to learn Monse's recipes (seeing as there might actually be room for me in the tiny kitchen)!"
A disaster into a blessing. It wouldn't be God's first time. =)
We will see.
