Iguazú Falls

Joe here. Last week, Kacey, Yoe Jin and I were able to join my 6th graders for their annual field trip. This year, the trip was to Iguazú Falls, considered to be one of the seven natural wonders of the world. The Iguazú Falls is located on the border of Argentina and Brazil and consists of approximately 257 individual waterfalls. Going on this trip not only afforded me an opportunity to do some sightseeing outside of Paraguay and spend time with my students outside of the classroom setting, but it reminded me of how truly glorious my Creator God is.

Our awesome bus! It was a double-decker!

IGUAZU FALLS!!!

Excited kids at the entrance to the park. From the entrance we had to take another bus to the actual falls.

We had to wear some ponchos as we were about to get really wet!

Up close to a waterfall. The sheer power of the flowing water was awe-inspiring.

It was a great time bonding with some of my students.

Here is a clip of what it was like up close to one of the falls:

“You are the Lord, you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them; and you preserve all of them; and the host of heaven worships you." -Nehemiah 9:6
