Frying the fish on an open fire for the tacos – Oh Baby!  One of the best things about mission trips to Baja has to be the food.

 

 

 

Some of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve had on short-term mission trips have been singing praise and worship songs with Oxacans in Baja.  Here, the ladies prepared fish tacos, and we sat around the campfire for hours and enjoyed the warm fellowship and music.

The guys were worn out after hard manual labor all day in this church in Camalu, Mexico. However, after they ate some food and rested for a little while, they were up again, and they challenged the nationals to a game of soccer. What a rewarding and fun day.

 

 

 

In Mexico, when there is a construction need at a church, you have to mix the concrete and pour the job yourself.  Here, our short-term mission team is making concrete for the floor of a church in Camalu, Mexico. There is something about working together like this that is so satisfying.

 

 

 

I love beautiful churches, and this chapel in Jackson Hole, Wyoming has to be near the top of the list of my favorites.
