From Mark:
Today was an easy day. We spent the morning finishing up
some of the
painting on Dan's house. Then we cleaned up and hopped on a
bus and did
some sight-seeing.
First, we went over to the 'Torch' church, as those in our group
hadn't seen
it except for those who worked there. It's impressive how
far along the
building has come. Now the roof on the 2nd story is ready
to pour. We're
getting out of here just in time!
Next, we went over to a nice park at the bottom of a canyon just
outside of
town. Some of our group (the more adventuresome) climbed
steps from the
bottom of the canyon to the bridge above. It's quite a
hike. Then we
enjoyed a nice picnic lunch back at the bottom.
Then, we on over to the town of Orizaba, about 15 miles from
Cordoba, and
hit the market and stores there for some shopping. Now
we're back at the
school, getting ready for supper and for a nice 'going-away'
program from
the students.
This will probably be the last time I have an opportunity to send
pictures
back. We're to board the bus for the long trip back to
Mexico City at 8 am.
If God wills, we'll be back in Memphis tomorrow night. Pray
for us as we
travel.
In Christ,
Mark
