We left for Jáuregui convention early Thursday morning, September 1st. We traveled with our friends from Guadalajara in the suburban and the Toyota pickup. It took 12 hours including a few stops, but we made it in time for the evening meeting.
We stayed with some friends on the hill above the convention grounds. Lovely guest house, air conditioning. Very pleasant nights.
The kids did all their playing in the evenings when it was cooler. They enjoyed a good soccer match on the roof one night.
A huge highlight for me was getting to spend time with my friend Laura. We grew up together in Montana and never in our wildest dreams did we think of meeting up in Mexico, much less living and laboring in Mexico. But here we are, and it felt good to be side-by-side for a few short days.
A few of the visitors we enjoyed seeing and hearing from. Laura, Heidi, Brett, and Jamie.
The Jáuregui experience just isn't complete without a walk to the river. It was running high this year because of recent rains. Muddy, but beautiful in its own unique way.
We left just after lunch on Sunday, and made it home around 1a.m. A long trip, but well worth it. So much work has been done in us at Jáuregui and it holds a very special place in our hearts.
