Both the Lady’s and the Men’s Bible Studies continued in our absence when we spent the month of March in the states visiting family and friends. Upon our return, the Lady’s Bible Study threw a Welcome Home and belated Birthday Party for “Arturo”.

We recently made a special day for these young ladies to always remember! We hosted a beautiful ceremony where each one stood up in front and recited 1 Corinthians 6:18 by memory, then signed a Declaration of their intent to remain pure until marriage.
