Finally... some pictures from Baja... our time here has been awesome


So I finally had a chance to get to a good internet connection to put some pictures from these past few weeks online. These are pictures from our drive down here to the mission... from some of our teaching... and some of our fun. We have many other pictures and have been recording most of our lectures so I will try to get some of that stuff published soon also.

The past few weeks have been filled with a lot of teaching... I taught 1st Thessalonians for 10 hours last week and have taught the book of Philemon every evening this week, so about 6 hours @ 1 1/2 hours each evening. Wednesday I got to teach what we call Bible Overview at a family's house... so I explained God's story through the Old Testament in about an hour. That is perhaps my favorite teaching, to explain how God has moved through history calling a people to show his mercy to. Yesterday I taught the book of Jonah for 4 hours as our last lecture at a Bible Institute here. I have become quite fond of the students in that school... I eat almost all of my meals with the students, have played soccer with some of them, and have been thoroughly humbled and blessed to get to teach these people who are going to be changing Mexico for the sake of Christ. God is going to use these men and women mightily to bring restoration to broken hearts here.

So these are some of my pictures, it is absolutely beautiful here... the people being the most amazing part of the trip by far.
