Our youth and Francisca are down in New Orleans at the Superdome for the Youth Gathering with 37,000 ELCA youth!
Francisca visited us here in Indiana from our Sister Synod in Chile, staying with the Isaacson's and Arnold's. She worked at MCUM with the youth group, went to the lake party at Jane's, taught the kids at VBS about her country and her faith and shared a presentation with us at both services on Sunday. Her host families treated her to all kinds of Hoosier hospitality and fun experiences too, including pizza, fried chicken, boating, shopping and more! She is now in New Orleans with the youth group. We have the ELCA HQ and the IK synod to thank for this wonderful opportunity! Thank you also to the many people at St. Thomas who made this experience valuable for all.
