We had an awesome time taking in Tecate's sights, and having a day to relax and recuperate. Because of the heightened security concerns in Mexico, we did not travel to Rosita today. Instead we hung out in Tecate. In the morning, we went to an awesome public stadium to play soccer, hike, and relax in the shade. Nothing quite like playing soccer in 100 degree weather on a dirt field!
After lunch, we headed out to downtown Tecate. The town has a square with a fountain where people congregate. Around the square, were many shops to find Mexican jerseys, souvenirs, food, and trinkets. It was cool to see Tecate and be able to spend some time just watching the people of the city move about.
Tonight we talked about what it means to follow Jesus in a world with so many distractions. We considered the questions together of "where are the workers?" Jesus told his disciples that the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Why are they few? How can there be so many Christians, and yet so few workers? Perhaps it is because so many of us are so distracted by life that we forget why we are really here.
Tomorrow is our last day on the sights. We will be finishing the houses and dedicating them. It is hard to believe it is our last day with our families. We have been so touched by what God has done in our midst this week.
