Yesterday about 2 dozen of us from Abundant Life Bible Church traveled to Celaya to a conference at the Christian Bible Church. We enjoyed the excellent teaching of Daniel Peasland, who had coordinators for each of the tables you see here. They helped us with the workshops. The conference was very well organized with breakfast items put out when we arrived (ham sandwiches - yes, really!, fruit, juice and sweetbread), and later served us a wonderfully delicious meal of many choices - I chose rajas (sliced jalapeño peppers and onions cooked with cream), tinga, chicken and potatoes cooked in a cream sauce, beans and rice - and of course lots of tortillas!

Daniel spoke on the gifts God has given each of us and how we use them for God's glory. He challenged us to not just use them, but use them with the right attitude - for God and His glory and for each other. It isn't about me, it's about God and my fellow beings. There were also three workshops where we worked as teams. It was truly a blessing, encouragement and challenge to each of us. I'm so glad I went and I'm so glad Yolanda, David, Gilberto, Imelda, Yoshijiro, Linda, Brenda, Reyna, Candelaria, Rosy, Ivonne, Jhaid, Gaby, Grace, Paul, Nacho and Mary went!
