This past weekend Mike headed to Monterrey for some meetings regarding the upcoming Lutheran women's convention. The convention will be held at the church La Santa Cruz (Holy Cross) in Monterrey at the end of July. Women from around Mexico (including me!) plus four women from LWMS plan on attending. It will be the first Lutheran women's convention ever to take place in Mexico!
The meetings went well, and Mike stayed to preach on Sunday. After the service, he joined the congregation for a convivio (get together) to celebrate Father's Day. After eating a large meal (church potlucks are great here too), the congregation sang las mañanitas, a song often used for special occasions, and handed out gifts to the fathers.
We're thankful that everything is falling into place for the women's convention, and are looking forward to traveling to Monterrey at the end of July. I'll post updates and pictures from the convention then.
