hello friends! mexico was amazing- i was challenged in ways i wasn't expecting. i can't really pass on words that describe the change in my heart- the faces of the people... the communication that was obviously beyond verbal. i made friends with a culture. it is beautiful to me how God can rip a barrier away in an instant and instead create a bond that feels like to me will be in my heart despite the barriers placed again by distance. i spent a lot of time with the kids, surprised? i am in love. and not only with our hispanic kids but our 10 kids from our youth group that went with thier families. serving the lord together bonds souls...forever in a way you can't understand until you do so in a determined kind of way. i would love to share all my great stories- but i doubt your intrest would last. i pray He can just keep this feeling alive. the feeling that i want to make a difference. it's spiritual motivation... i needed that. life goes on the same here but now i have something in my heart pressing me. i am not sure what that means or where that will lead me but i don't plan to deny it.

keep a guy named "adrian" in your prayers that he will build a relationship with God. one particular person that i hated to leave because i felt the seed wasn't quite planted. i hope i am wrong.

thanks for the prayers while we were gone.

and this picture in the only one i have from mexico...my camera battery went out, ahem...but aren't we so cute? i like to call it 316 ;)...if you look closely you can see a small portion of a mexican statue.
