On Sunday we had a small farewell party for two of our volunteers that are heading back to the US this week. We said good-bye to Dave Sigrist and Grace Bey, two WELS Kingdom Workers that have been teaching English at El Redentor (Redeemer) here in Torreón.
Dave had been in Mexico for one year, first […]
My husband and I have adjusted to many different aspects of life here in Brazil – the food, driving a stick shift car, hearing Portuguese every day – but the one thing we have never quite gotten used to is winter.
When we lived in the United States I always looked forward to winter, to sitting […]
A few days ago, we were invited to be godparents at a middle school graduation. This was for the daughter of a couple who we are friends with, and are also members of the church. They stopped by at about 11 p.m. the night before to drop off the official invitation we would need to […]

Why do wives go to the CELC? Is it to shop for Pchenko dolls at the bazaars of Kiev? sight-see ? experience the underground mall at Independence Square? Maybe somewhat. However, about 20 of us came also because we share a love and zeal for our husbands’ work in the Kingdom and we are equally […]
Here’s the beginning of a huge, city-wide party that lasted well into the night. The reason? Torreón’s soccer team, known as Los Santos, won the national soccer championship last Sunday.
We went to a popular restaurant to enjoy the game and atmosphere. It was a huge event, and right after the Santos won, a mariachi band […]
More than a year ago, we got to know Carlos Cezar. He was invited to a youth meeting by a neighbor, Christiane, who is a communicant member. She is the only member of her family to participate in our church. When I asked Cezar last week why he continued to come after that first meeting, […]
