1 August 2018 Newsletter St. Paul Lutheran Church 602 Morgan Blvd. Harlingen, TX My Trip to LWML by Velia Sanchez When I first got to the LWML Convention I was super nervous being around all these people I did not know. When I was waiting with Dawn, someone called my name. I did not know who it was, so I just said hello and I saw Krista coming towards me yelling my name and then I yelled Krista s name and gave her a big hug and told her I was nervous. Krista took my hand and let me to the Marilyn Hensz loving LWML exhibit room to see Brenda and meet some of the girls. After I met the girls - they were so nice to me - I went walking with them to say Hi to people. Later, after that, Krista took me to go see her sing in the choir and while I was watching her sing in the choir this wonderful nice lady came to me and asked me what my name was and I told her it was Velia and said it was a pretty name and we talked through rehearsal for choir and her husband, Pastor Mike came and greeted me, and his wife, the wonderful lady told him how I was shining for Jesus. After we talked, I went to a meeting and played (Never Have I Ever) and soon after that Krista walked in to make sure I was okay and I said yes. After she left everyone asked me if Krista was my Mom and I said no, ha ha. I told Krista and Brenda and they thought it was hilarious :) anyways. After the meeting they asked me for my phone number and I gave it to them. The next day we went to the Dr. Pepper Museum and my team leader got me a Dr. Pepper float, but before that we went to Magnolia, it was super hot, but it rained so we played charades in the rain. I laughed so much my stomach started hurting. My other team leader Jeana was super hilarious and very nice!! Later on we all went to the pool together and played a bunch of games. That day I made a lovely best friend Myra. We were partners a lot. :) On the very last day we all had skits to perform on stage, it was funny. Myran and I were both dogs that comfort people and after the skitsthe team leader played a slide show of all of us having a good time. I had a great experience and I hope I can do it again next year. I thank Dawn and the Ladies Aid for inviting me and taking care of me. Thank you Dawn!! P.S. Pastor Wendorf I saw and met your mother, she was very nice, she told me she sends you, your children and Mrs. Wendorf her love. :) Velia Sanchez getting ready for choir at the LWML District Convention in Waco, TX.
