Well, if anyone had told me at this time last year that I would be sitting here a year later ready to head to Mexico again, I probably would have laughed in their face but let me just say that we serve a pretty amazing God who likes to work out of the box :)Although I'm pretty nervous to head back to Mexico, I’m excited for all that I will learn there!
I praying that aside from this trip being a great academic experience and a chance to improve my Spanish skills, that God will use me to reach people where I am at and that these next four months would be a time of great growth as I trust in Him and follow where He is leading.
Getting ready for this trip has already been quite an adventure in itself and a pretty good lesson in trusting God. We got hit with quite the storm today-the kind with huge trees falling over, lots of wind, power lines down-and ended up with no electricity right about the time I was packing all my stuff this evening so I ended up packing by flashlight which is something I can’t say I have ever done before. Luckily, the power came back on a few hours later so I was able to check everything over in the light. It defiantly made me thankful for all the times we do have electricity!
I can hardly believe that by this time tomorrow, I'll be in Merida and a couple hours into practicing my rusty Spanish! It's probably about time for me to end this and get to bed but I just wanted to write this first entry before I take off and make sure everything works :) I'll do my best to keep this updated so you can hear about all that I'm up to. Thanks for all the prayers and support, I'm excited for what God has in store for me in Mexico!
~Hasta luego!
