A little over a week ago we had our MCC Mexico team meetings in the state of Chihuahua. The purpose of our trip to Chihuahua was twofold – to meet for team business and to learn about the Low German speaking Mennonites who emigrated from Southern Manitoba to Mexico in the 1920s and 30s. It was somewhat of a dream come true for me to see the colonies as I had heard much about them growing up as a kid in Altona and had friends whose families had come back to Southern Manitoba from Mexico in the 1970s and 80s.
Here are some pictures of Zam, Hizee, and Ziko in Chihuahua with their MCC pals: Micah, Isabel and Ayesha.
