Mexico Mission Trip: Day Six

Tuesday was our Sabbath for the trip because everyone needs a day of rest. We took some time to hit the local market in search of priceless knick-knacks and souvenirs. The students were able to purchase little tokens and keepsakes to remember the trip and the good times. After shopping we headed across the street for street tacos. They were so delicious, the students could choose between steak, pork or fish tacos. Muy bien!

The rest of the afternoon was spent at a local beach where the students could play in the water, build things out of sand and just relax. We BBQ hamburgers right there on the beach and enjoyed ourselves until sunset.

Overall it was a great day of relaxation and recharging of the batteries. We've got 3.5 days left and tons still to do. Keep us in your prayers and more ministry opportunities appear.
