Fiesta





Well we had a great fiesta to celebrate Mexico's independence Day! Of course there was lots of traditional Mexican food, music, mariachi and Kareoke. I think we all had a great time, connecting with new friends and just enjoying the opportunity to celebrate life together. Tonight is a very special night, it is our first night of alpha. We are all very excited it kind of feels like we have finally approached the big day of a wedding! There is so much emotion and excitement flying around our team. We also know that there are many people at home supporting us through different ways, Airdrie Alliance bought us our chairs we will be using! as well as the many of you who have supported us in giving us words of encouragement and just the fact that we know that you are standing in the gap with us. Here are some pictures of our Independence Day party.

Amazed




We just enjoyed another amazing Sunday with our new friends. It is so amazing to see how the Lord has been working in lives and bringing people together. Today we were 23 people but still small enough to feel like a family as we get to share a meal together each Sunday at La Conexion. We are so excited to be here! What a blessing it has been to week after week get to know more about our friends and meet their families as they come to visit La Conexion as well. This morning I (Sandra) shared my story always a little nerve racking but such an honour to share my life with new friends and my desire to invest in their lives and help them to experience the same transforming power in their lives.

Can't wait for the huge party we are having Tuesday for Mexico's Independence Day. We already have a Mariachi band booked and Karaoke lined up! We are expecting about 60 people, can't wait to post pictures.
The pictures are of the kids new teacher Monica!
