Mexico Days 7 and 8

Days 7 & 8

Day 7 of our trip was a Tuesday and Darla hosts a Bible study at the church in Paamul.  Vickie, Debbie and I attended that with about 7 other women.  We watched a Beth Moore video.  

(I love Beth Moore!)

While we were enjoying our video, the men worked on one of the church bathrooms to get a toilet working properly.

After that, Darla took Vickie, Debbie and I to a glass shop in Playa del Carmen.  They hand make all of their items and I wanted to purchase everything.  I opted for a small glass heart to use as a Christmas tree ornament.  Vickie and Debbie actually make large purchases, which they delicately had to wrap to carry on the plane.  (They did have a website, so I might have to get on there and order a few more things).

For our last dinner, we headed back into Playa del Carmen and ate at a seafood restaurant called La Pesca Maya.  All of our dishes were delicious and it was a great way to end out our week.  

As we were all talking about our week, I think Doug said it best.  We may not feel that we did enough and we may never know the impact we have made, for Jesus, to these people.  But the more they see us, we continue to build relationships.  Everything big or small thing we do there, is planting a seed and that is what we've been called to do.

Early Wednesday morning, we headed back to Cancun to catch our plane home.  We said our goodbyes to Doug and Darla and again, I was sad to leave.  We had two smooth plane rides, then about 2 hours worth of standing in amusement park lines in order to enter back into the United States.  We arrived to snow in Raleigh, which was pretty exciting!   After a quick stop for dinner at about our halfway point, we finally made it home.

It had been a great week.  One that will forever be remembered.  One that will always hold a special place in my heart.
