Yesterday, we celebrated one month in Mexico! It is hard to believe that we have been here
that long already. We have so many
blessing to count from this past month.
Thank you so much for your prayers and encouraging emails and
messages.

We have learned so much this month and know that our learning has just begun. We have learned that processes take longer
here and bus drivers drive faster! We’ve
learned that bus number 29 GREEN does not follow the same route as 29
ORANGE. We’ve learned that family movie
night works just as well in Mexico as it did in the states.

We’ve learned that a trip to McDonalds every
now and then takes away a bit of the homesick blues. We’ve learned to convert pesos to dollars in
our head so we don’t have a heart attack when we spend $800 (pesos) on school
supplies and shoes at Walmart (which is only about $60 US dollars). We’ve learned that complete strangers can
become family in a very short period of time. We’ve learned to reheat pizza in a pot on the stove top.

We’ve learned that Skype isn’t a replacement
for time spent with family far away, but it sure is a huge blessing to see
their faces! We’ve learned that sometimes all we need is an extra hug to make it through the day. We've learned to love Puebla and the people who live here. Most
importantly, we’ve learned to trust God for everything.
