Familiar faces

For the past 11 days, both B and i have been in Mexico. For the first part of our trip, we were in Cancun with the Morrises, and then took the bus up to Merida for the second half of our trip. During our Merida stay, we were able to see a lot of old friends. I soon realized i had not taken as many pics as i had thought i did, so if we saw you and your pic is not here, we are sorry :p



Miguel and I at church.


M was one of my 12th grade math and and also Calculus students my second year teaching. I am a proud former teacher of a rising third year engineering student.






Byron and Ramon.


Great Christian, father and friend. Proud parent of a soon-to-be medical student. FYI - getting into the medical school here in Merida is close to imposible. Depending on the school year, there are about 2,500 - 3,000 seniors who apply to med school and only about 80 get in. FYI 2 - Students begin med school right out of high school.






The Glory family.


Pastor Chucho and his family took very good care of B during his 5 years as a missionary in Merida. Every Wednesday they would have him over for lunch. Chucho gave the homily at our wedding and remains a good friend of ours inspite the distance.


Their two boys were my students during my two years teaching in Merida.




Luis and Byron.


Luis was/is one of B's good friends from his 7-year stay in Merida. He was also one of his groomsmen at our wedding.
