Copper Canyon

On Thursday we had the privilege of going to Copper Canyon,
The Copper Canyon is a group of canyons consisting of six distinct canyons in the Sierra Madre Occidental in the southwestern part of the state of Chihuahua in Mexico. " quote from Wikipedia
The attraction here was the 7 stage zip line that we did!!!   I don't have any pictures, but I think that Joshua does on his blog, and I know that Jesse has pictures on his camera... so when we are back home, then just come on over, and we'll show them to you...  
The Group for the zip line, all harnessed up and ready!!!

 A total of 42 of us went... Including one of the Mothers, most, if not all, of the youth, several of the Fathers, and couple of the little boys... as you can see in the picture!   It was incredible... the zip lines were really long (some of them were a half a kilometer or 500 meters long)  and the view was AMAZING!!!

There had been a Lot of rain in the area the day before, but we were blessed with a BEAUTIFUL day... Sunny and warm. (We brought a bunch of the sun back on our necks and noses :) And then just as we were leaving the clouds started rolling in.  Thank you Lord!!!  

The whole trip was a lot of fun.  Getting to know these dear people in a new way!    Thank you all for your prayers for us.  The trip is going really well, and we are enjoying our time here.  We think of all of you back home a lot, and hearing from you is a blessing!!!     remember, as always, and comment area is just below this post :)
