Thank you for your support, encouragement, help, and prayers as I am now in Mexico! I am thanking God for so much! Note: The picture placement did not want to cooperate; I will try to get it figured out for next time.

Trip went smoothly and arrived safely
Very nice coach bus ride from Mexico City to Cuernavaca
Shopped at the biggest Wal Mart ever! Bought groceries and supplies for my apartment
The “boxed” milk doesn’t have to be refrigerated until after it is opened. It tastes about the same as milk at home.
Ketchup in big bags–who knew?
Happy to see the gate at El Monte as I had been up since 2 a.m. Warmly greeted by Paul and Roxanne and received lots of help getting things in my new home.
Wednesday, August 6
Woke up to the sounds of birds I had never heard before; some made me laugh!
Unpacked and organized my place. Happy to discover deep drawers and plenty of room for things.
Roxanne kindly invited me to a yummy lunch at 2; I am working on getting used to the new meal time. I have some snacks in my cupboards. ;)
Paul and Roxanne took me on a tour of the grounds. Beautiful. Being from Wisconsin, I never learned to appreciate mountains.
Still adjusting to Tuesday’s long day and the altitude. Slept well again.
Thursday, August 7
The slight headache I had yesterday from being overtired and adjusting to altitude is about gone. I have been drinking LOTS of water.
Went for a short walk and discovered the most beautiful blue and black butterflies and gorgeous flowers. People here create beautiful buildings with all the rocks.
My door is on the first floor, second from the right.
Will work this afternoon with my director on what I’ll be teaching. Anxious to get started.
Would you pray with me?
Praises
Smooth trip–no problem with flight or going through security or immigration
Getting good sleep
Adjusting to altitude
Staff here so welcoming
Requests
Kindly pray for my students when you pray for me. They are training to be missionaries.
My continued good heath
Wisdom in preparing for my classes and a strong start to classes
My dependence on God. I can’t do this by myself!
I still can't believe you are there. It looks AMAZING. I love the photos. It gives me a better idea of where you are and what it looks like. That photo of that cactus is simply amazing!!! I look forward to hearing more in the future.
ReplyDeleteI love all the photos! Continued prayers and can't wait to see you when you get home and hear all the stories! <3
