Mothers' Day was so special at Nueva Vida. We had our service outside, under the roof at the Salazars' ranch. It was a bit hard to get a correct count as we had people moving around and some arriving late. However, I wrote down all the ones I could remember and the total was 66!!! Out of that number, 18 were first time visitors, 19 were family members who came to celebrate Mothers' Day with us and 29 were the Nueva Vida family. We did have some of our people missing because of illness, being with their family on Mothers' Day, and work. That was a pretty exciting attendance!! We had praise and worship, special music for Mothers' Day, the message, and we gave little gifts to all the Mothers present and we prayed for them especially. Following the service, we had our Mothers Day dinner with no need to wait for seating and serving. We had grilled fajitas, sausage, bread, rice, beans, drinks and cake. Everyone seems to really enjoy it. Now, we will be praying that some of our visitors will be returning to be part of our church.
