Eight of us from the English speaking Cursillo Community had the opportunity to serve our Spanish brothers and sisters at their Cursillo De Cursillo Encounter (CDC) hosted in Shakopee the weekend of Friday, April 1, 2016.

Four different groups representing Minnesota Valley Ultreya served breakfast and lunch to a group of 50 participants. They were so very appreciative, and charming! And we enjoyed watching them enjoying their meals with an added dose of hot sauce!

Mike and I were delighted to meet up with Jeny Correa who was participating in the CDC. She had helped us when we had an informational Sunday for the Spanish mass at Church of the Risen Savior. We got a big hug right away and then she introduced us to a familiar face who we recognized from church. Esteban Morales and his wife lived their weekend last year. Jeny asked him about sharing his experience from the pulpit for this July's Spanish weekend and he confirmed that he would. So it continues in a pray, love, serve, circle (pray, love, serve, pray, love, serve).

One of the others helping to serve said this, "What a fun and spiritually uplifting time I had helping to serve the Spanish CDC. The team was so wonderful to work and pray with, that I kind of felt we had a mini grouping session going on that morning. The CDC participants were so appreciative of our team serving them. For me, their smiles and heartfelt thank you really gave me a spiritual lift for the rest of my day."

Thank you for the opportunity to serve,

Jeanne & Mike Anderson
