Pr. Salgado from Bethel-Puerto Rico, visits Bethel-Madison |
As part of our III Aniversary celebrations, a unique event that we called, "A Taste of Puerto Rico" was held at Bethel on Saturday, Nov. 12, from 5:30-9:30 pm. Most people who have gone on the Puerto Rico Mission trip in past yearsconsider the party held at Bethel Lutheran of Dorado as the highlight oftheir trip. On this evening, we eat, pull away the tables and chairs,and set the musical equipment. Then Pastor Ivette and her longtime friend, Monchi, would sing. And they sing for hours: the merengue, salsa, bachata infectious and fun: children dancing with adults; friends with each other; and people meeting new people. We danced until we were sweaty and could hardly stand, then danced some more. Until now, this only happened in Dorado, Puerto Rico. But on Saturday, Nov. 12, Pastor Ivette and Monchi were here at Bethel to sing for us at A Taste of Puerto Rico. This was a fabulous and unique event featuring Puerto Rican food and music. Then teh following Sunday the sang at three of our worship services, and Pr. Ivette preached at the 12:30 p.m. Latino service. It was an unforgetable experience. We thank Pr, Ivette, Monchi, and Olga for their visit and gift of love. |
