On Tour

Starting last Sunday, Mike has had the chance to give presentations on life and work in Mexico in Minneapolis, Redwood Falls, and Sleepy Eye, Minnesota. The girls and I came with him to a couple locations. Every place has greeted us warmly. We are very thankful for such kind brothers and sisters in Christ!

When Mike visits a school or congregation, he usually shows a Power Point presentation. He talks about what it's like to live in Mexico. He also shares stories of the work going on there and the Lutheran church in Mexico. Sometimes we set up a display or have a "show and tell" with handicrafts and souvenirs from Mexico (including favorites like a purse made from a toad and a dead scorpion covered in glass).

Going to congregations and schools is always an uplifting experience for us. It helps us zero in on our reason for living in Mexico: to show others the way to heaven. Talking to other Lutherans also energizes us and renews our spirits.

Mike will be giving presentations for the next week and a half. We look forward to seeing more people and talking to them about our mission field. Shortly after that, we'll start our trek back home!
