This past weekend we had visitors! Four WELS lay leaders came to Torreon. They spent three days meeting with the missionaries and seeing, firsthand, the congregations, missions, and pastors here.
Visiting with these men was really inspiring for me. They are strong Christians looking for ways to support mission work in Mexico. One of the things on their to-do list is to increase volunteer mission opportunities in Mexico. Some of these opportunities will be things people can do from their own home, while others would bring people down to Mexico on short mission trips.
Getting the chance to spend time with the lay leaders warmed our hearts and encouraged us. I know they will be a huge blessing to the Mexico church in the future. Here are a few more pictures** from the weekend:
Meeting the Mexican pastors...

Participating in Sunday worship...
Viewing a reenactment of Jesus' death and resurrection at the congregation in Zaragoza Sur (in this picture our two WELS Kingdom Worker volunteers are the soldiers)...
Meeting little souls...
Thanks for coming down (and for trying grasshoppers and tongue tacos)! Can't wait to see you all again soon!
