How do you say "Ooops" in espanol?

We just finished our first 2 groups  and it was an amazing experience.  We are so humbled that God has called us here and we can see how He has shaped us for so long to be tool in His shed.

While we had our 2nd group here,  from Virginia and New York, we have a night where we take the groups for a walk through the town to shop and then eat in a restaurant.  One of my jobs is to make the reservations and set every thing up.  Sure that I had completed my task well I continued on with my week doing all my other duties.

When the night came for shopping and dinner in the community we finished our shopping and headed by foot to the restaurant.  You can imagine my surprise, and pit in my stomach, when we arrived and the restaurant was completely closed for the night.  Did I mention I had a total of 30 people with me?

God's mighty hand was at work in all this though.  Our boss, Brian was meeting us to drop off something to me and upon seeing our dilemma he called a restaurant called Pizza and Pepperoni that was about 4 blocks away and immediately ordered lots of pizza.  By the time we walked up there we only had about 15 minutes left to wait so fortunately no one starved on my watch.

As Karen and I talked it became clear where the problem was.  I scheduled the restaurant for Jueves (which is Thursday in espanol) when actually dinner out was on Martes (which is Tuesday in espanol).   I actually do know the days of the week in espanol but simply had a brain fade.  As I said though, God was at work. Not only did God provide with our boss being in the area at just the right time, He also blessed us with such a great, gracious group of people.  This could have turned out so bad but actually God used it to draw our group closer, and we definitely made a memory.


All I can say is I can't wait to one day sit around a big dinner feast in heaven with that group and have a laugh as we relive it.  And I am sure God will say to each person in that group for their gracious spirit, "Well done"

So......  does anyone know how to say "Oooops" in espanol?

Love,
