Missions Trip to Quintana Roo

For the last two weeks, I have been working with a missions team down in the state of Quintana Roo. My roommate Emily and I went along as translators for the team. Here are some of the highlights of the trip.

My first experience translating for a church service. By the Lord's kindness, it went very well.

Our team was a mixture of people from churches in Wisconsin, South Carolina, and Chihuahua.

This was a Mayan family that I was able to spend some time with after one of our children's evangelistic programs.

Tigres

On the way home, we stopped for a few minutes at this hotel that had some very illegal tigers as pets. The tiger was getting a little too close...
I found a hole in the gate and tried to get some close-up pictures of the tiger... I think this was a little too close for comfort.

Cascadas de Cusarare

Near Creel is a neat waterfall that we visited on our trip. It's pretty dry during this time of the year, but it was fun splashing around in the water anyway. This is a view from the top. Group picture at the bottom.
The water was FREEZING! I could hardly keep my feet (foot) in the water for this picture.
