Around the town

This is our little rental car, we rented it in Playa del Carmen.


This is the laundry, you drop it off and they do for you. 

We get our fresh produce here, they have the best mangos. And they make fresh juices daily. Today we got orange, mango, and pineapple, and it is amazing!
Before we eat the produce, you have to soak it in water with iodine drops so you don't take a chance of getting sick. So far so good! Our friends Tim and Sue say they have never gotten sick here.
One of the main roads we drive almost everyday. To the right is the swamp, and there are alligators in it. We're hoping to see some, but haven't yet.

This is the street we live on. To the right is the ocean.

Seen three or four of these now.

Cantina down from our house. We have gone here a couple times, very good food.

Haha, we are actually in service here and in the 2 pictures below:) You pretty much need to be more discreet when approaching people and offering mags or tracts. We were told to just walk around down town, get something to eat or walk down to the beach and try to strike up a conversation. People generally will ask us where were from and why were here, and that's when we can give a witness.

Our server at this restaurant asked us alot of questions and we were able to talk to him for quite awhile. I think every time we go there now he may want to know more. He is from here but speaks very good English.


Really like this one!:)

See these thing's everyday just about.




Playa del carmen

And no we didn't go there. Way too many other good thing's to eat!

Matt....always has to strike a pose

This place is also on our street. It was super good, we'll probably go there again

Headed out to try to witness downtown


Hardware store


Matt bought a machete here for $6! For cutting coconuts:)

    1. Hey Michelle!! Well you are a good example for us:) I'll always remember when we were on the roof for RBC and I said I didn't think we would ever be able to do anything like this because of our debt, I really thought it was impossible. And you said to just keep praying about it and Jehovah would work it out (something like that) and you were more than right. Jehovah answered our prayers ten fold. With Jehovah anything is possible:) Love ya!
