To Juarez

The youth group at church just recently took an overnight trip to Juarez. A church there, Gracia Soberana, invited us up for a time together with their youth.

It was a long trip!
We didn't go right to Juarez. First we detoured for a few hours in some dunes just outside of Juarez. The other church joined us there. We enjoyed God's beautiful creation a bit under the full moon.
It looks like we're in the middle of the desert! Oh, wait, we are!
A few of us.
Sand angels?We were all split up with different families from the church for the night. The next morning we had a meeting with some of the young adults in Juarez and their college pastor taught on the principles of courtship vs dating. It was very though provoking and we had some good conversation on the way back!
We were gone about 24 hours, which means we got to enjoy two beautiful sunsets!

Beautiful pictures - those sand dunes are fun aren't they? We had plenty of them in West Texas - they hold the heat so long - at night they feel like a cozy warm bed! Thanks for posting - Happy Thanksgiving to you Rachel - praying for you and yours - bless you in your work and your efforts to serve our Father faithfully!
