Nate Gives a Talk on an Island!!

This past Sunday we had the privilege of going to Isla Mujeres, an island  about 15 min. from Cancun by ferry. It's a quaint little island, 16,000 population. The English group there has been off and on for 3-4 yrs. It's
 hard for people to move there and stay. The group has around 18 publisher's, 4 elders, 4 pioneers, 0 ministerial servants.

On our way! Nate had gotten sea sick a couple day's before this, so we were really praying  that all would go well on the boat ride. And it did!

To make it easier for the brother running mic's, everyone sit's on one side of the Kingdom Hall

This is a pioneer sister from Iowa, she has been here 4 months, like us. She hopes to go home, work, and come back again. Michelle, if you're seeing this, here is your twin!!! She look's so much like you,  just a little taller:)

Lunch after the meeting at a taco stand owned by a brother in the Spanish cong. The brother pointing took us on a tour of the island after lunch.

We drove around with the side door's on his van open, it was so hot and he didnt have AC. Alot of people drive around on the island in golf carts, or scooter's.




A view from where the brother lives overlooking the Caribbean sea. He rents a very small studio with  two balcony's, for around $200 USD. Not bad!

Just to give an idea of what it looks like driving around there, alot of bright colorful houses very close to each other.





This is the south point of the island





The streets of downtown







And on our way back! It was a successful trip with no sea sickness:)
