I am safely in Mexico! Thank you all for your prayers and encouragement! I'm going to backtrack a little and share with you a bit about everything before my trip.
As with any adventure there is a certain amount of preparation and planning and packing etc. However, this past week has been a whirlwind of activity and emotion and mixed feelings. Don't get me wrong, nothing has lessened my excitement however I have certainly felt my fair share of anxiety about being in a foreign country by myself for two months where I am lucky to understand half of what is being said around me. Thankfully my God is strong when I am stupid and lost and no amount of earthly worry could overcome God's plan for my trip.
The past week I spent at home with my family. It was wonderful to be with them and feel their love, support and encouragement before I embarked to a foreign land. I also spent a few days preparing my curriculum for the English classes that I will be teaching and training others to teach.
However, I can honestly say that I was truly humbled when I saw the generosity of everyone around me. I am not just talking about financially, although there were moments was I was truly astounded by the support given to me. I have been infinitely blessed by the notes, letters, facebook messages, and texts that I have received over the past couple of weeks. There is nothing more humbling than realizing that so many people are praying for me and my ministry in Mexico.
I want to thank all of you for your prayers and support and I will continue to share more specific requests as I become more immersed in the culture.
Gracias por sus oraciones!
Thank you for your prayers!
