Bye Bye ABC

Our first American team from ABC church left this morning. God is so good, i dont think that i could have chosen a better group of strangers to spend the week with. For those of you that know how important the Pettingells are to me, there was a family from this team that reminded me of them exactly, just what i needed for my second week here. I will be visiting them, all the women from their group spoke life into me and all the men were vessels of hope for me. The kids, they were just fun. I would take Ashley and Austin as my brother and sister anyday.
Although i do really miss my baby seester!
Living here is getting a lot easier, and the language is coming to me better, also i have built relationships with people which make it easier to communicate without words.
Coming here i knew that i would fall in love with the kids at the labor camps, but the lord has really emlarged my heart to love the Mexican people as a whole. Tina's mom has taught me a lot about her culture, she is Misteco, and has taken me under her wing to make sure that i know how to do everything the way that they do, which seems to be the hardest way possible...
I have fallen in love with the young teenage group of boys that we play soccer with and have in small groups.
At the labor camps we took pictures of people and the kids and handed them out, it was so difficult, these people dont have any pictures of anyone in their family, and they immediately put all others aside and only want more and more pictures for themselves, which was heart breaking to watch. Otherwise the people here seem to have things the right way, they put family before work and school, and social life, and all the things that Americans wrap their hearts around.
I am loving it here, and already after two weeks a lot of options have opened for me in the fall, a few that i am more excited about than others, but in the whole i am excited to see the way that the Lord provides my next path for me.
