What a gift to have this information. Esther, I am looking forward to your return to KS to tell us more. I have remembered this event in my heart and in prayer. Thank you for the great pictures …
It is thrilling to see Esther and our Brazilian Sisters together there in Buenos Aires. The pictures are so clear and sharp. Keep showing them. And blessings on you all. Bette
Wonderful photos! Keep them coming when you can. Enjoy the conference and the ambiente of Buenos Aires.
Thanks for all of the pictrures, Esther. Makes one feel a part of it all. I love Joselaide’s tee shirt!
The CSSJ Seminar in Buenos Aires has to be a terrific experience for you all, Irmas Joseleide, Janira and Esther. The bright colorful pictures with each of you giving us your beautiful smiles tell us the whole story. It has to be a coming home together familial feeling.
The posters in the background look so interesting – each one telling its own story.
Thanks, Irmas, for representing the Sisters of St. Joseph of Teresina/Concordia.
What a thrill to see you there!!
Continue to keep us updated as you are able. Thanks for the photos.
Love to Joselaida and Janira, and Marlene who assisted in translations for us a couple of years ago.
