It's our final night here in Merida and we're slowly packing up for our long day of traveling tomorrow. We're looking forward to reconnecting with all of you once we're back in the States. Today, a group of us went on tour at a sister parish in Seye. Fr. Raul was gracious enough to show us around and even brought us to a running henequen factory. We were able to see how henequen is turned from the plant to a rope.
In the afternoon, the whole gang traveled to Dzibilchaltun to see, first hand, some Mayan ruins and we even swim in a cenote! It was refreshing for the body and the soul. Once we got back to the Mission, we enjoyed our final family dinner filled with laughter and community. It was a perfect stamp to end a splendid week.
Just before bed, we had a wonderful final group reflection with Tricia, Jonny and Ali in our company. We had the opportunity to share our affirmations about each other and our experiences this week. It was a great way to connect for one final time in Merida. As of now we are all packing up, showering and preparing for our 5:30AM departure to the airport. Our flight from Merida is scheduled to take off at 8:04AM. We ask for your prayers of safe travels as we journey back home tomorrow!
See you all soon! Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. Merida 2016 :) <3
