The Carte Family

While in Maracaibo, Venezuela, I took some prayer card/family pictures for the Carte family.

Here are some of my favorites...

Venezuela #4...Coro

We've finally made it to the last of the Venezuela pictures...

I'm going to be honest, looking through my pictures of our mission trip just now made me really sad...I miss it and all our friends there.

It was truly an amazing trip and, God willing, we will be able to do it again in the future. :)

I hope you enjoy looking through the rest of the pictures from Coro...

 Before church, having fun fellowshipping and laughing.

Getting ready to pass out invitations...

 Passing out flyers and witnessing.

Sweet girls. :) 

 Holding a service in one of the faithful church member's homes.

It was a great night!

 Of course, we also took time to have some fun during the day, sight seeing and exploring the city of Coro...

 She was just a little excited...

 I'm assuming he was eating coconut.   Whatever it was, he was obviously enjoying it. :)

 This night, the city of Coro lost power, so we had to have a candlelight service.

 Well, it wasn't all candlelight.   A little cell phone light too...

 I had fun snapping some shots as we explored the city in the blazing heat of the afternoon.

 We found a cool shop with lots of beautiful and unique handmade souvenirs.

Everyone else thought the dolls were creepy, but I liked them. :)

 Okay, I'll admit, this one is slightly creepy.   But I kind of liked the picture, so I posted it anyways.

 Aubrey relaxing in the hammock before heading to Pastor Angel's house for supper and church.

 The lobby of our hotel...

...and inside our room.

 Making invitations to invite people to the services...

 Marcos.   One of the cutest kids ever. 

 We definitely didn't starve while we were in Venezuela.   Mrs. Oney was a great cook!

 

  Sorry it's a little blurry, but I loved her smile here so I had to post it anyways.

 Marcos learning to play the trombone...

 At church...

 Sad night...our last night in Venezuela. :(  I lost a few people in this picture because I had my 50 mm lens on...

 Sweet friends.   

 Siblings!  We couldn't talk to them much because of the language barrier, but they are some of the sweetest kids you will ever meet.

 The view outside our hotel early in the morning as we were preparing to head to the airport...

Goodbye Venezuela... 

Until next time. :)
