Day 3 - Arrival at Voz de Desierto

After our long drive from Agua Prieta, we finally arrived around 8:30 pm in Hermosillo.  Thankfully we had decided not to try to worship with the church community that evening or they would have been waiting for us for a while.  We were several hours later than we planned.

We drove through town for a ways to go out to a restaurant that Pastor Ramon recommended.  I was totally astonished to see the number of familiar retail outlets that we passed.

We are staying in a large room that used to be the sanctuary before the new sanctuary was built.  It does have a working swamp cooler which we are very grateful for.  The pastor, Pastor Ramon, lives next door with his wife and four kids.  The new sanctuary has been built on the top of the existing building.  Its pretty ingenious how they have reinforced the walls/ceilings of the first story to support the second story.  They also added an extra storage space area on the first floor to allow the sanctuary upstairs to be just a bit wider.
