Greetings to all from the Yucatan! Peace of Christ be yours in abundance. We are tired but happy here in Cancun after another week of teaching and building. Chris is well recovered from a stomach bug he got last weekend and we are enjoying some down time on the beautiful beaches in Cancun! I am including some pictures of our day long adventure in Coba, a city of incredible ruins that is thought to have been home to 55,000 Mayans during the golden age of Mayan culture (roughly 800 - 1100), a picture of Chris with some of our students from our English class in Tepich, a traditional mayan home in the Town of St. Bartolomo where no one speaks proficient spanish (I understand their dilemma), and I hope you enjoyed the pictures osted from last week. The Sea Turtles were a highlight!
Here are some shots below of some of the walls built this week at the Church site.
Please keep praying for us as 7 more missionaries arrive this week from the States. This will be wonderful for us to be able to have more hands in construction and more folks teaching English and Catechism in the 5 towns. The greatest gift you can give us is your prayer. We are super excited!
I will keep you posted in the weeks to come! Thanks again for your prayers!
We had the chance to celebrate Mass with Father Josepe in the small Mayan village of San Bartolome. The Mass was celebrated in Mayan due to the fact that very few people in the village know any Spanish.
Here is Chris with one of the men from the village taking a break from mixing cement.
Peace and grace be yours in abundance! (1 Peter 1:2)
Love, Adam
