We had the best experience at Bethel yesterday! One of my co-workers, Javier, got me into contact with a couple at the branch there. They really went above and beyond for us. Saron, picked us up at the train station and set us up with a great tour. Kathy, our tour guide was so sweet and spiritually encouraging! They invited us to stay for lunch with them and even asked the brothers in the kitchen to set our table up VIP style with linen table clothes. They generally don't use them, as you will see in the photo below. After lunch, Marco & Saron invited us up to their apartment and we enjoyed espresso & spice cake together. We got to know them a little better and they invited 2 new bethel sisters to join us. It was so nice! After the others had to go back to work, Saron gave us a private tour and showed us where she works, and a few other things we didn't get to see on the first tour. We got so close to them in those few hours together! It was so hard to say goodbye, we could've stayed all day. But the city shuttle from Bethel was leaving so we had to go. We definitely plan to keep in contact with them and hope that one day, we will meet again.

Our lovely little coffee break.
Laundry! Definitely the most fun department we visited!!

Bethel hangers! I wanted some...
Our view from the Bethel entrance. This is actually where Marco & Saron were married! We really enjoyed spending time with them. It was such a perfect day!
