October Thus Far

Conexión Meeting

The night was themed Noche Mexicana (Contrary to popular belief, Chilean food is nothing like Mexican food; not even close). We ate Mexican rice, beans, and quesadillas. We played Mexican bingo and musical chairs. We also had a "Who Looks the Most Mexican" contest, and a "So You Think You Can Eat Hot Stuff" competition. FYI: We have come to find that Chileans don't necessarily eat spicy food; in fact, most we've met don't even like it.

Then Mayra talked about Hebrews 12:1, "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us."
