Sunday morning we woke up bright and early to enjoy a cinnamon roll breakfast. I soon found out why they feed you so well... they torture you with lack of sleep and cold showers :-0
Anyway, Sunday morning we attended a local church. We arrived back at the mission for lunch... a wonderful turkey dinner. Our church spend the afternoon putting tracts in with the bracelets and crosses we brought down. Kiersten and I had been helping make them for a few months.
Our evening church service was in Mexico.
This church reminded me of some of the churches I saw in Romania when I was a teen. The big difference is Mexico has a lot of stray dogs... in Romania there were chickens everywhere.
The church members were in front to the right. They set up the empty side for their 60+ visitors. We helped this church canvas the area Monday and Tuesday... reaching probably 700 people. I can't wait to hear a year from now how many of these seats are filled by their own members!!!
The Pastor and his wife. I don't think they spoke a word of English.
What a crowd... I know this church was encouraged!

This was the first day I experienced crossing back into the USA. On a fast night at the border we only had to wait an hour.
We were not allowed to take pictures at the border but it looked like a long row of toll booths. The buses have to be in the far right lane. Everything in the bus and everyone had to be checked. The people walked through a building with guards and x-ray machines. The bus had to be driven through an x-ray machine as well. Traffic is slow on the bridge but the problem comes if there is a bus ahead of you... especially if it has luggage. Everything has to be unloaded from those buses! We had a great week of border crossings! Maybe it had something to do with praying every night as we neared the bridge :-)
