Sweetheart Banquet


On Valentine's Day we were able to treat our couples to a sweetheart banquet.  We invited our missionary, Alfredo Ortiz, to come up with his wife and family to be with us for that Sunday as well as to teach two sessions for our sweetheart banquet.  Brother Ortiz did a wonderful job with both sessions of the banquet as well as with both services on Sunday.
 
I had also invited Pastor Ismael Zamarron and his wife Lourdes to be with us just to share the experience with us.  I know that they love to visit Magdalena and I also know that they do not normally have the finances to get away.  Our people always enjoy their visits and they are always a blessing to us.
 
We were missing three couples of our own at the banquet but those who did make their plan to be present were greatly rewarded for their efforts.  Peggy had planned several activities and games that were a delight to the couples.  They were also able to experience and enjoy Peggy's "Green Chili Pie".  Next year we will plan to do the same with twice as many couples!
