So let’s see where I left off last time... okay, in Rio
Chico. In the evening of the second day there we finished up all the projects
early, and then climbed up some rocks to see the cross that is up there
overlooking Rio Chico. It was a fun hike, although too short. (J) We got lots of
pictures taken up there, since it is so cool.
One thing that I enjoyed at Rio Chico was hearing Pastor
Thomas explain how he had a desire to reach his fellow countrymen with the
gospel, and from that it grew into what is there now with the mission at Rio
Chico. He only knew a few words in English, but there were a couple of others
who knew enough to translate, plus we had Jamie, our own translator with us. J There are American
missionaries there at Rio Chico, but they were not there right now when we were
there. But it was neat to see how the native people are reaching out to their
own people.
The next day, Friday, we said good bye to Rio Chico (I
didn’t want to leave it that soon), and drove all day long to Babicora. There
were interesting roads we traveled on, as the last half of it was dirt/rock roads
that made hairpin turns on mountainous roads. It was a very bumpy ride, and
even though I didn’t mind it, it was hard for all those who get car-sick.
Hiking up to the cross.
