Well, time is winding down here in Mexico. These past few days are going to go by very fast. Last night was kids club, which is always a blast. We played games and sang songs…I have really gotten familiar with some of the kids they are all very nice! I gave the talk about jericho and then we acted it out.
This morning I got up and did school with the kids and it was very trying because...
This is going to be a quick blog because it is super late.
Today I taught the kids, the happiest moment ever was when I got luis to love writing.

I cant describe the feeling I got, I was so proud of him we went around and...

Saludades de Mexico! Greetings from Mexico!

I really had to be on my toes and very flexible, I didn’t get any kind of orientation or schedule….I just had to jump right in! Thankfully, the summer intern, Katie, is very...
Memories
I’m sitting in my very own bedroom, with a queen size bed, on my very own laptop. If I get hungry, I go downstairs and eat. If I get thirsty I go grab a drink. If I am cold I put on clothes or get under a warm blanket. If I am hot I turn on the air conditioning.
As I sit here and really reflect, I am hit with the realization of how blessed I really am.I was hit with this the past two times...
