I haven't caught you up on the current state of Andres' mission development. At the beginning of the year, he was asked to do a short internship at a Lutheran church near our house, to practice the service and learn the liturgy a bit more. After that, we began talking to a few Lutheran churches in West Columbia that had expressed interest in supporting the Latino mission. St. David's Lutheran, in West Columbia but close to Lexington, offered not only to support the mission, but to give Andres an office in the church and use of many rooms for when the mission projects get started. We have attended a few Sundays and the people are wonderful. We hope to participate in the church itself while also starting a Spanish service soon. I have begun teaching my prenatal classes on Fridays every other month here, and the church council has been great in supporting me as well. There are lots of young families with small children (something I always look for) that are active in the church. In fact, we're getting together with a big group of the young couples this week to eat dinner-sans kids :-)
