Final Mexico Post

I'm playing a bit of catch up here. Some of these pictures and video are from a few days ago when we didn't have connectivity or I was just too pooped to post.

Since there are so many pictures and video, this page may take a while to come up.
Be patient.

This is the student residence I wrote about at the end of this post.
The students themselves helped in the actual construction process.
And yes, it is painted orange and blue and no Tim Tebow did not help paint it.



These are a few of the students.



Here's video taken during Sunday morning service. The students were holding up signs they had made to tell us the areas they're planning to study when they make it to the university.

Long time friends and fellow pilgrims: Alejandro, Alicia and Socorro (Jennifer too :-).
These Godly servants have been with Armonia for many years.



Alejandro was a member Mexican Federal Police force.
His arm was a little bigger than mine so i had to made an adjustment.



This is an example of three way translation: Zapotec -> Spanish -> English.
We had a lot of this Saturday when we ventured into the mountains of Oaxaca. The English is delivered with a British accent by our friend Alicia from the UK.

This picture goes with my previous one.



We were in the mountains of Oaxaca Saturday.
The room where Doug and Bob conduct eye exams needs to be pretty dark.
I turned and noticed the way the light was trying to sneak into the room.
It made me homesick for the Red, White and Blue.



These next few videos are from our trip to the mountains of Oaxaca on Saturday.

First the beautiful woman of Oaxaca. We were told their head coverings symbolize honor.

Doctor Karen giving an exam. More three way translation.

I'll stop here.
It was a great trip. I always return with an adjusted perspective on what is important.
To those of you who prayed for us and followed our trip via this blog, I thank you.
I leave you with a few shots of my fellow pilgrims who I had the honor and joy to serve with.
God Bless.

David. A true servant of God.


Doug. The man has a heart of gold.
