Went to a wonderful, wonderful conference for women last Saturday (LAEL: La que pertenece a Dios). The speaker (Jo Charles, a CMS missionary) taught us that knowing God is better for us than any changed circumstance, that it's better to spend our time on things that have value in God's eyes; and encouraged us, instead of just resolving to do better, to stop and think about what our bad behaviour says about where our heart is at. And so much more. We had time to talk with each other about how these things look in our lives. And we got to sing together all of us with that gorgeous latin intensity and joy.
Then on Sunday Iglesia Cristo Redentor celebrated our second anniversary!!!!!! with a special service and a precious new cross. After the service we got out a whole heap of tables and shared lunch together. So good to look around and see people of different ages, resources, backgrounds and abilities chatting away together. Lots of photos here.

Gosh, Cristo Redentor has a good-looking website! Vibrant and classy. I remember you showing us photos of the church's first anniversary last year. It's still a blowout to me that you're over there and very much a part of church life. Glad you got lots out of the conference, those are great things to be reminded about. God bless!
