Su paciencia mientras naveg\u00e1bamos un a\u00f1o de cambios y bendiciones nos fortaleci\u00f3 a todos. Ustedes han cambiado vidas para siempre con el ministerio en sus comunidades y hasta los confines de la tierra.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Estar\u00e9 eternamente agradecido por las maneras en que estas tres conferencias anuales, junto con la conexi\u00f3n a trav\u00e9s de la denominaci\u00f3n Metodista Unida, me han apoyado a m\u00ed, a Nancy y a mi familia en la muerte de mi padre en noviembre pasado y de mi madre en junio pasado. \u00a1Ha sido un viaje! He visto la esperanza de Cristo en ustedes, y por esto, tengo una gran esperanza para el pr\u00f3ximo a\u00f1o, porque no lo hacemos solos. A veces, elegimos hacerlo solos, pero una vez m\u00e1s hab\u00e9is demostrado lo que significa caminar con Jes\u00fas y unos con otros, fortalecidos por el Esp\u00edritu Santo.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Con la incertidumbre y el caos de nuestro mundo en estos d\u00edas, nuestra esperanza se encuentra sin duda en Jesucristo y su justicia. Otro a\u00f1o est\u00e1 sobre nosotros. Estar\u00e1 lleno de muchas cosas, y algunas de ellas pueden ser duras. Pero no demasiado duro, porque lo haremos juntos, guiados por Cristo y con una esperanza que est\u00e1 fuera de este mundo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gracias.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Como siempre, es un honor ser vuestro obispo y recorrer juntos este camino.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>En Cristo,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"231\" height=\"48\" src=\"https:\/\/twkumc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Graves-signature.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24285\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/de49ef7a5b28451f267c7c189\/images\/427d35ad-e176-4297-a5a0-cc34966f2067.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>David W.
