Our Last Days in Ticuman for the Summer of 2008--Part 2
Here’s a pictorial overview of our last days that were filled with activities at El Monte.
WEC Day
Many times when short-term teams are visiting Mexico, a “WEC Day” is hosted at El Monte. It’s a full day of fellowship to work and worship together with the WEC missionaries and the team(s). Our second to last week at El Monte, there was a short-term team from the UK as well as a combined team from Pennsylvania and New York.

Quince Años
A “Quince Anos” is a 15th birthday party for girls in Mexico. It is a common celebration for girls as a rite-of-passage. We’ve heard of these events before, but this was our first time to attend one. For believers, it is a time of dedication and challenge for a young woman. As you can see in the following pictures, the ceremony and reception are much like a wedding.

Una Fiesta!
Every Sunday night a group of people from the local church gather to play volleyball. We have played a lot of volleyball this summer!! But last Sunday night was a special event. It was a birthday celebration for one of our WEC team members, David Mitchell. He and his family are sharing our rented house here this summer. David is seated in the center of the picture below in the yellow “El Monte” shirt.
