Domingo en Mérida




Sunday was a great day! Grayson, and I (Molly) went for a stroll before church while Laura jogged. I got some great pictures in the morning as the light was great!

We had a great breakfast at the hotel and then Gabby picked us up for church about 8:45.

Church was wonderful. We actually saw somebody reading Andy Stanley's book.. 'The Best question ever' . The music was great.. I got chills when we sang Blessed is the Name of the Lord and Wait for the Lord En español. We actually got to see a baptism and new members join the church.

After church we headed over to the church gym for a church social.. and then we head back to the hotel for a quick rest.

About noon we went to a pool party with the church leaders and their families.. It was great to be able to jump in the pool and cool off and really talk to the church members. It always is amazing to me how similar we all are.
A neat part of dinner was they had hired some women that had made hand made tacos and we had Muy authenic tacos.

We were at the pool party for about 3 hours... and then we headed back to the hotel and then we headed off to the town square as Sunday's they have a big market going one. We actually got caught in the rain and ended up just getting some ice cream. We all got back to the hotel a bit wet, but happy.

Then we all got a chance to siesta or read or rest up for the rest of the evening. For dinner Gabby and his family took us out to a more American restaurant, kinda like a TGIF... it was in the nice part of town, by the big museum and the huge Merida walmart..
