Youth Mission Trip 2007: Matamoros

CYF traveled to Matamoros, Mexico, June 3 to 9, 2007, to work for Southwest Good Samaritan Ministries. The group painted houses, worked on door and window frames, distributed food to fishing villages, and worked at a Children's Home. The trip was not all work: we played on South Padre Island beach the last two days of the trip. (Click on thumbnail-photos to enlarge them.)
