Independence Day

On Saturday we celebrated Mexican Independence Day!

It was probably the most amazing party that we've ever been to, and it was great to see all the UNIFAM churches attending, and also dressing up!

We helped with the decorations and people had made such an effort to turn the Seminary into a total Mexican experience.


There was so much to do and all the money raised went to help fund the Seminary, and the work of God there. We had so much food it was unreal, and plenty of games, including one that ended up with Julie and I temporarily in prison (don't worry everyone it was only a game. We can see the headlines now!)

There were fireworks and dancing, and plenty of Mexican singing. But the most important thing was the Independence "el grito" (the shout of Independence) All the people shouted Viva Mexico! But they also shouted "Viva Christo" to help us remember that Christ died to give us true independence from sin.

We also found three Mexicans who you may recognise!
