The past hour and a half has been very frustrating. I am at an Internet cafe in Palenque and my plan was to post pictures and talk to my family on Skype. Well, I saved my pictures in the wrong format so I will have to post them later. And my microphone wouldn´t work, so I could hear my parents but they couldn´t hear me. Sorry about the pictures. You will have to stay tuned for more later.
We have training until Friday and then Saturday and Sunday we will have time off. Monday we are headed off into a village with our small groups. We will stay in our tents, a casa of a local, or in a church. I am praying for a dry place because it has rained for the past three days. We will need to find a way to feed ourselves, which could get interesting. Our goal as a team is to build relationships with some of the locals and decide how we can serve them. This may be hard due to our limited Spanish and Chol. We are going to have to get creative… good thing I have my frisbee. I am pretty nervous about the next three weeks, because it is so different from anything I have done before. I am still needing to release control and trust that God will provide for and protect us. Overall I am really looking forward to finishing up with training so we can start to focus on the people of Mexico rather than ourselves.
