More about our weekend in Cuernavaca

Oh, hey, I forgot to tell you something.  We got to listen to a missionary speaker on Sunday.  Of course we kind of wanted to hear Lorenzo (the pastor) speak too, but it was neat to hear from Javier.

Javier and his family (his family wasn’t there) serve in a country in Eurasia.  They are back in North America for a time before returning.  He shared a bit about the country where they serve, and gave a message from the Bible.

The interesting thing is that Javier is married to a Canadian.  It just "so happened" that, on the Sunday he came to speak, there were 6 Canadians in the congregation (our family and Gary and Kim Lidstone).

We had a good talk with him afterwards (in English and Spanish), and had a lot to talk about.  We have friends in the same mission he is in (WEC).  We talked about challenges of residency and immigration when you’re a couple from two different countries living in another country (as is the case with Shari’s sister and her husband).  And he had some wise words to share about language learning.

We got their email address… it would be nice to stay in touch.  And maybe we can let you know when they’re in Canada.  His wife is from BC.

By the way, I have a few photos up from the weekend (for some reason we didn’t take many – oops!) in our Recent Shots… album.  Also some photos of some activities that Shari has been involved in lately.  Enjoy!
