This morning we got to attend the Nevin’s and Smith’s church and Sam, Beth, and Kendra helped lead music and they sang a special number before Pastor Carl preached about faith. Following the sermon the Mexicans put on a pot luck for us to enjoy with some authentic fare ... mmmmm.
That afternoon we visited the ancient Aztek pyramids. Carl, Beth and Sam took their second trip there accompanying the family group as they were part of the student trip earlier. Very interesting to check out the ruins. However, today was a free day for the local Mexicans, so it was crowded and a 30 minute wait to climb the Pyramid of the Sun, whereas on the student trip there weren’t any lines at all. But we had a great time and did some more shopping at the market there to pick up some trinkets.
Fireworks have been a daily event as there is a Catholic saint assigned to every day and most regions have their saint, which is celebrated down here with fireworks. However, tonight must have been a more than significant saint or the local saint, because the fireworks outside our backyard window were nothing short of spectacular. Nice little bonus.
We heard from the students that their flight to Dallas was delayed and they missed their connecting flight, and then weren’t able to connect for the standby either. We are praying that they will be able to make it on the Sunday night flight. However, staying in the Hilton after Mexico City isn’t exactly roughing it either ... ;) Pray for their safety, we’re sure they are ready to get home to see you all!
