Albuquerque!





While we were staying in Phoenix, we took a weekend trip over to New Mexico to visit Mountain Christian Church (MCC), in the East Mountains of Albuquerque.  We had never been to Albuquerque before and had no idea how beautiful this city, surrounded by mountains was....or how much it reminded us of the mountains of Bolivia.  


MCC has a special place in our hearts, as we have been a part of receiving short term teams from this church here in Bolivia several times.  Over the past two years we have gotten to know many people from this congregation.  So even though we have never visited Albuquerque or MCC before, it still felt like visiting some place warm and familiar.  


We were able to visit with many past team members, and John also did a Saturday morning seminar, teaching on several topics, including worldview, poverty, and resources.  We had an amazing time, and also enjoyed our first "glimpse" of snow during our furlough home.  Actually we were apart of a "winter storm" but stayed warm and cozy with Marvin and Barb Proctor, who hosted us in their home, while we watched several inches of snow accumulate.  


Thank you MCC for inviting us to come and share with you all, and for loving on us while we were with you!
