Day 6: Thoughts from Kenzie



Some of the 21 people crammed into
a 15 passanger vehicle



On the way to Puga

Today was great, and also very long J! We woke up at 6 am to clean out our rooms to make space for Sunday school this morning.  After we were all cleaned up and ready we headed off to church in Puga. On the way a couple people that had stayed the night in Tepic after the youth group the night before had to go back to Puga...thus we only had one van available to us...and a couple seats in the other,  so we crammed 21 of us into a 12 passenger van. Bonding time J!

Walking through the decorated streets

in Puga



We drove along the twisty, bumpy, and crazy roads until we got the small town. The town was beautiful, colourful houses and handmade decorations streamed across the narrow streets, giving the town tons of character before we even got out of our vans. We talked to some of the teens from the church and then walked around the town streets inviting little “ninos” and “ninas” to our program at the church.

Worship service in Puga



The program went great and we had fun getting to know and playing with the kids.  Those of us that were not involved with the kids program stayed in the wonderful service and once again experienced the inspiring worship. We then headed back, some of us had to go into another vehicle and got to talk with some Mexican teens. We talked the whole way back about American bands, and who was the best.   Apparently Justin Beiber is greatly loved by the girls but hated by the guys here.  It was a lot of fun to try and communicate with a language berrier, it was alot of fun. Then we got back to the church and had lunch...and a much needed extended siesta.

We then attended a prayer time before the evening service and then walked to the nearby coffee shop. (I think they are beginning to know us by name we are there so often...Mr. Ferguson!) We came back to the church for the evening service where we met up with a couple people that we had made friends with earlier. orship here was once again extremely touching.  Something about singing a song that you know and have heard back home so much and then singing it in Spanish is so beautiful.  

Tacos!

After the service we headed off to TACOS! I think this was a highlight ( food-wise) for many of us.  They were the best tacos I have ever tasted.  Then we all went to bed after yet another great day here in Mexico.
