New Mexico Adventures Begin!

By Jennie ZeilstraHello from New Mexico! The whole group has been here in Rehoboth for about two and a half weeks, and we love it. We are continually amazed by the beautiful landscape and breathtaking views of the great SouthWest.
First a little bit about our new home, Rehoboth. Rehoboth is very close to Gallup. Gallup was founded in 1891 as a railhead for the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad. There are still quite a few trains that pass Rehoboth! The elevation of Rehoboth is about 6,500 feet--compared to Grand Rapids’s 640 feet. To learn more about Rehoboth’s history, go here: http://www.rcsnm.org/History.pdf
Now for the things we’ve done and places we’ve gone!
