This is the first of 12 blogs that will take you back through each month of my World Race journey to date through words, pictures, and video that Brian and I have not had a chance to share yet.
Palenque, Mexico –
With excitement, we received our launch training by Jimmy, Ashley, Seth, and Karen at Shekinah,a training school for pastors, run by a couple with incredible
faith, Eleazar and Marta. We also had an opportunity to see the Mayan ruins and Agua Azul in
our downtime.

Trinidad (formerly Aguilar), Mexico
– We worked alongside Pastor Adelina
in her church doing children’s programs, dramas, worship, and preaching. The value of “being”
versus “doing” was reiterated over and over, as during the day when we were not at the church, we did not really have many tasks to do. Brian and I continued
to learn the delicate balance of leading and following as it relates to both
marriage and team dynamics. I learned
just how far simply listening to and loving on people can go and the importance
of building relationships with others regardless of how long (or short) of a
time you have to spend with them…love’s impact is enduring.

Brian made a short video of our time in Palenque and Trinidad, and below are a few photos as well. You can see many more pictures in my Mexico photo album on our personal website.
