Seven days, six nights in Chiapas, Mexico later, we have all arrived home safely and only a little bit of Montezuma's Revenge. A great adventure all in all, being with some old friends and making a few new ones.
The Tzotzil Indians of Southern Mexico are very poor, with little in terms of material value, but they are a beautiful and gracious people. We brought Bibles and shoes and blankets to a place called Maravillas, and we built a church building. I should say, we helped build a building. We bought the materials and gave a little bit of labor, the local folks porvided most of the manpower and expertise. We cooked on an open fire. We slept in tents.
It was a good trip to make, it is good to be at home. Many thanks to Russell and Charlotte Linscombe for their efforts and service. I am exceptionally proud of our church for seeing this project through and making it happen.
My prayer is that we will have many more opportunities to return.
