Day 8: Our Second Sunday and Fond Farewells

Yesterday was our last full day in Mexico. We woke up at around 8:30 AM and had a nice, light breakfast before heading to church.

This Sunday provided a different experience for us. This time, not only did we know the people with whom we were worshipping, but we also had had a week to refamiliarize ourselves with the Spanish language, which made the service easier to follow. During the service, we got a chance to sing for the congregation, singing a piece entitled "Él es Digno" ("He is Worthy") which we sang in English as the congregation sang in Spanish. We also performed two of our favorite psalms: 40E and 148.

We spent the rest of the afternoon with our new friends, eating lunch together and playing some volleyball. We were then gifted group t-shirts commemorating our missions trip before saying our final goodbyes.
