Abriendo Caminos week ended at 1:45 this afternoon as the guests boarded the bus to head to Lucerne to take the boat downlake. Last week I promised more about this annual event. Abriendo Caminos means "opening pathways" and it is our annual week of opening pathways between us and our Spanish speaking neighbors. Most come from towns in Washington, but many also come from California and other places. During this week all sessions, announcements and worship services are done in Spanish with English translations. We get a lot of opportunity to work on our Spanish skills.
Last night (Friday) was La Fiesta: great food, pinata bursting, music and worship, which began as a procession and ended at the ark with more music and dancing.
I took quite a few pictures and I spent several hours today figuring out how to make a movie out of them on my computer. I tried to attach it to this blog, but our satellite connection is too slow. Therefore, here are a couple of the pictures.

Pinata time
We had pinatas for all ages!
For some reason I have been having trouble getting this blog on. I have been working on it since Saturday. (This is Tuesday now). I wanted to put some other pictures on it, but I give up!! So this is all I can do for now. Hopefully, next time will be better.
