Final Fotos......the Trip Over the Mountains to Lazaro Cardenas and the Rest of the Group




































We left early on Thursday morning - the plan was to go over the mountains this time since we had plenty of daylight. The photos show us eating a quick breakfast at the church before we left. At 7am, the lead deacon stopped by to thank us again for inspiring them as a church to do Kingdom work. He asked that the Guerrero Convention send helpers to stay a week or just a weekend to continue the work we had started. He promised, again, to continue to nurture the individuals who made decisions and asked us to please come back again next year.
Then we left. The photos show us driving thru Coyuca de Catatlan before daybreak. We drove for four and a half hours thru some world class winding roads. After about two hours, we pulled over for one of the seminary students to get out and vomit from car sickness........ I was starting to get sick myself ! I had been over this road twice before and both times we took 5 or 6 Dramamine ......we forgot to bring any this time. On a more positive note, the views are absolutely breathtaking (see photos). This is the Mexico that is far removed from tourist areas.
We finally arrived in Zihuatanejo around 12:30 and dropped off Pastor Wilbert at his church. Then we drove to San Jeronimito and dropped off the seminary students there at the seminary. At this point, I asked Jason to drive because I was still feeling the effects of the winding roads and wanted to get horizontal. Jason drove us all the way to Lazaro Cardenas, where we hooked up with the whole group for the final service that night.
PS- I threw the tarantula pic in there just for fun....... he is a Mexican Red-Kneed Tarantula and he wanted inside my backpack
