Jornada Espiritual table. I think Ivonne did pretty good today. Because of the financial situation here in Mexico, people don´t buy much in the way of books and materials, but she did sell SOME! For that we´re very grateful!
Gotta have flags at a missions conference! Several were home made - they did a good job!
I wanted to upload pictures of our speaker and the workshop leaders, but for security reasons, they asked us not to. So, this just shows a little of the conference as a young man made introductory statements. The emphasis was on Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam. The workshops were very informative and interesting.
Some of you might recognize Jorge leading the choir - we started out singing ENGLISH worship songs! I was amazed at Jorge´s English - excellent! Later in the program we sang some more "alegre" worship songs - in Spanish!
We found ourselves in interesting situations - here a Buddhist home - we were served tea, mixed nuts (very spicy!) and crackers.
Most of the folks from the host church dressed the part. It was fun to guess what country they were representing! The young people did such an excellent job serving the meal and just helping in so many ways! I even spotted some young men in the kitchen helping wash dishes! You go, guys!!
A market in India.
A young gal here makes these puppets - and they´re so economical!! We were impressed with her workmanship! I´m happy to "advertise" for her!
Coming home, two kilometers from San Juan del Rio, the traffic slowed to a crawl. We feared an accident, but then came across this - it had hailed just a little while earlier - I´m glad we missed that - and it looked like snow! It was slippery of course, which is why the traffic was barely crawling! Ivonne snapped a couple pictures - not good ones, but you get the idea!
When we left the books and materials at the office, this is what we found outside the door! Slippery, cold, already dirty "snow"! Yolanda was amazed - you don´t usually wear sandals in the snow!
