Each year the Bajio area churches of Mexico hold a women's conference. Today it was in Celaya at a beautiful party hall. Nancy Muro from Puebla was our dynamic speaker and it was a time enjoyed by all. She challenged us to "rise and shine" as it tells us in Isaiah 60:1-5.
We arrived at 9 for a light breakfast of orange juice (FRESHLY SQUEEZED and yummy!), yogurt with granola, WARM sweetbread, flan, jello and coffee. After the first session, we broke for a light "almuerzo" - not lunch, just something light - of little tacos, very nice. After the second session we could help ourselves to more of whatever was left. In the past there has been a big dinner served, but due to costs and the difficult economic situation here (and everywhere, I think), they opted for a light "snack." It worked well - no one went away hungry!
There were about 300 of us there from Queretaro, Celaya, Irapuato, Salamanca, San Juan del Rio (20 of us!), Saravia and maybe a couple other places. I brought greetings for my kids from a lot of different ladies - some of whom I can't remember their names! So, you all, consider yourselves greeted!!
