Monterrey [Wednesday]

Today we got to wake up at 8! We ate breakfast and left to go swimming in a natural waterfall & spring. The trip was about an hour and it was all up hill. The views were amazing, and the road was really curvy.

The spring was really cool and wasn’t that deep. The water was really cold too. You could jump off a little cliff into the water. The water fall had rocks all around the bottom of it and they were used as slides. Mollie and I weren’t planning on going in we were just walking around in the shallow places, taking pictures. That didn’t last long because we just needed a video of me (Jeany) getting thrown in! Hahaha I was glad later though, because it was hot the rest of the day.

After the spring, we went lower down the mountain to have lunch and see some bigger waterfalls. They're called, "Horsetail Falls." You couldn’t swim in them but they were awesome to look at. Then we went shopping there, and they had some really cool stuff.

Then when we got back to the church we ate dinner. After dinner we went to see the huge Mexican flag, it was on a mountain that was used to defend Monterrey. It is so big, like 100 ft! From the top of the hill you can see everything it’s so beautiful! We than sat down with two guitars playing and we sang worship songs. Then we prayed for Monterrey, the people of this country, and the outreaches of this week. We stayed there till dark and saw the view with all the lights. It looked like a river of lights through the two huge mountains.
