Within our volunteer community here at the finca we have a special friend program or "quierida companera" system. Every two weeks you are paired up with a fellow vol and you take a special intentional time together. I have done everything from reading quietly in the same space, to taking a run, to eating cookies.
May 2, Rachel, a fellow volunteer from my class was visiting for a doctor's appointment. She and her husband Jacob, another volunteer, are expecting their fourth child. She invited me to go to the doctor with her to hear the heartbeat. I met her at the hospital that morning. Soon after we got to hear the most beautiful little heartbeat ever, truly a beautiful sound.
The next day, Rachel called me from the farm, we did not realize it, but we were quieridas companeras, and she not only called me in the city, but visited me and shared the harmonic sound of her unborn child's heartbeat with me. Talk about special special friend time. Definitely at the top of my list for all my special friend times in the past two years.
