Farewell Party for Volunteers

On Sunday we had a small farewell party for two of our volunteers that are heading back to the US this week. We said good-bye to Dave Sigrist and Grace Bey, two WELS Kingdom Workers that have been teaching English at El Redentor (Redeemer) here in Torreón.

Dave had been in Mexico for one year, first teaching in Pachuca and then in Torreón. Grace came for two months and taught an intensive English course during her stay here.

We are extremely thankful for the time that both of them dedicated and their hard work. Their efforts resulted in not only happy students, but also students that learned of salvation through Jesus Christ. We expect to see the seeds that they planted here grow during the coming months.

Dave and Grace also rolled with the ups and downs of life in Mexico. They dealt with issues like staying in a place with no air-conditioning (during our hottest months of the year!) and making many trips to the immigration office to work through the visa process (often a long, complicated one here!).

So gracias Dave and Grace! We wish you both God's continued blessings in the future. And should you return, you have a casa waiting for you here!
