Day 1
Hey Everybody,
I know these posts are a little off, but I've been in the canyon since Sunday and have not had a chance to update. Saturday we arrived in El Paso and Chad picked us up from the airport. We had no problems at the border and were able to get across rather quickly. When we got here we went out to dinner with Chad; Sean, Lisa, and their family; and Chris, Heather, and their family. As well as the 4 interns Christopher, Sarah, Christina, and Fatima along with Hector and his wife Gloria. It was a great time of fellowship getting to meet all of them the first night.
Day2
The church service Sunday morning was awesome. There is just something about singing worship in Spanish that to me was amazing. I could really feel God's presence in the room. It was awesome. The girl singing the Spanish parts, Lilly (I think), had an amazing voice and she was singing with her whole heart. After the service we headed to Barranco del Cobre (Copper Canyon) in the Sierra Tarahumara, and the base house. We met Rogelio and his wife Claudia and their three children Samuel, Isaiah, and Junior. We also met Cesi and her mother Sequorro. All extremely nice people. Sequorro is an amazing cook (as some of you already know), and her daughter is a firecracker, very funny and just that type of personality. Rogelio and his family were so patient with us as we all tried to communicate. Rogelio knew a little English , but it was just amazing to get to know them. We had a great time of fellowship with his family when Chad took the Bynion's to meet their pen pal, Annya. It was awesome.
Day3
This is the day everybody met Annya, and her. She was a sweet girl, very shy, but very sweet. She speaks no English, however she does understand a very small amount. They were all pretty shy, but very kind. We went to Copper Canyon in the morning and it was gorgeous. How anybody could look at this and think it happened by accident is beyond me. Absolutely stunning words can't even describe it and picture's can't capture it. Cuan grande es nuestro Dios (How great is our God). We also worked on Pastor Manuel's driveway, fixing potholes and ruts with rocks and dirt. Hopefully it will last through the next couple of rainfalls.
Day4
today we went to Cascada de Cusarare. Or the Cusarare Waterfall. Something esle that is absolutely gorgeous. The kids went swimming and we had another great time of fellowship. We came back and played soccer and kickball at the school that the kids go to. Annya came with us, but left to get other shoes so she could play with us. Sadly none of us went with her, because when she got pretty much right in front of the school she was attacked and bitten in the leg by a dog. Thankfully we were able to talk to the owner's and they said it was vaccinated. She didn't need stitches since it was puncture wounds instead of lacerations. She and her family came back to the base house after dinner to say goodbye to everybody. Praise the Lord she was okay.
So much more I want to say, but it will have to wait till I get back.
