Canada for a little while..."I thought you just left!" Well, I did
just leave for Mexico with my brother and his friends for their grad
trip but returned just under a week ago with them. If you read the
previous post, you saw that our drive down to Mexico was more than
just a little exciting with car trouble and all but I'm glad to say
that our trip back up to Canada was uneventful (and we were more than
glad that it was). I've been spending another week up here in
Canada, seeing more family and friends and just taking it easy but I
am more than ready to return to Mexico where I will stay there for
the remainder of the year. Having travelled more than 10,000 miles
in the last month (by plane, bus, and car) you could say that I am
ready to stay put in one place and no longer live out of a bag. It
has been a very refreshing time, though, to see family and friends
out here in Canada.
One thing that I am looking forward to is my youth group from the
Blumenort Mennonite Church coming out during the last week of July
where they will be involved in various ministry projects including
helping with a Spanish VBS program, doing some painting, food and
clothing distribution, and whatever other opportunities happen to
come our way. You can definitely be in prayer for this team as the
prepare for what will be very new and outside of their comfort zone
for a lot of those coming. This is of course, though scary, a good
place to be as those are often the times when we learn to rely on God
in new ways and to greater depths. Those are also the times when He
shows himself to us in new ways as well. I too, am feeling out of my
comfort zone on this one as generally I'm working under the
leadership of Art and Brenda while teams are in Mexico but this time,
since they are in Montana for the summer, I'm flying solo on this
one. So your prayers will be greatly appreciated!!
I'm also looking forward to my family coming out for about 10 days
mid-August. I suppose they figured that the high 30's that they
experienced last year with 100% humidity wasn't hot enough so they're
going to try out the low 40's this summer! Ray and Char Klassen and
family are also making the trek with them and I'm looking forward to
spending some time out here with all of them.
That's about it for now - the next post will be from toasty Mexico.
Until then, hasta luego!
