The day has come!! I am in Mexico and filled with mixed emotions! My family and friends had a prayer send-off for me on Saturday morning and then the plane took off at 2:55pm. Last night I think reality set in. We arrived in a little village over the border and slowly tackled the bumpy roads back to our new home. The building is a part church/ part dorm. As I laid in my sleeping bag, I felt a bit nervous. What am I doing? And then I felt a peace come over me and God reassuring me that He desires for me to grow, learn, and minister on this trip. I just needed to trust. So I caught up with my team a bit and then hit the lights.
Today is Sunday…I think?! 🙂 We woke up around 7:30 this morning. They weren’t kidding about the roosters crowing early! I found a quiet spot on the roof and read for a bit. It’s been cool just taking in the surroundings…kids running around with a kickball, people carrying on conversations that you wouldn’t attempt to understand, and the best is the clothes hanging on the lines to dry – with the unbeliveable dust swirling around. hmm. 🙂
We are having some brief orientation and training…a little church service in an hour and then dinner at 9.
and tomorrow is another day…
