Concluding Thoughts About Our Recent Spanish Bible Study, Part 1

Last Sunday we concluded our 6-week Spanish Bible study. We covered the first 6 chapters of Disfruta tu diario vivir con Dios (Enjoying Your Journey With God, by Daniel Brown). We ended with the chapter entitled "Reading Your Bible"; the teacher was yours truly.

I'll mention just a few highlights from the past six weeks. Forget saving the best for last: the absolute highlight for us was the richness we all experienced in being together--stepping out of our English-speaking comfort zone and into exciting new frontiers of communication. Also great was the teaching: in six weeks we heard from five different teachers, each with their own unique giftings sharing from their own particular experiences in their walk with Jesus. As a result, we left the Fireside Room each Sunday feeling refreshed, encouraged and built up in our faith. And, of course, I can't NOT mention the edibles. Pan Dulce, donuts, homemade cookies, an especially tasty fruit salad containing, among other oh-so-satisfying ingredients, fresh, sweet, juicy mango (I ate three bowls), and lots more. These are among the many wonderful things that made our time together each week so delightful.

To be continued...
