I think today is day 48 of my journey here in Mexico... I can hardly believe it, and I am not wanting to leave Ocosingo in just a few days. As expected it is going to be really hard to say good bye to all my friends here. I hope that by the end of the week my trip will feel like it has come to a complete ending. Today, I got a chance to really sit down and talk with Jan. She and her husband, Pablo have been missionaries here for a long time, working with the Lowland Tzeltal Presbyterian church. It was really nice to be able to ask her about her story and what it has been like to be a missionary. She gave me some ideas and encouragement, and I am thankful for the opportunity to talk with her today. My calling is still blurry, and I have no idea what I will be doing in a year, but thats okay... Jan told me that God may speak through other people who will help guide me in the right direction.
As far as a general update goes... I had a great weekend relaxing in San Cristobal and I even got to hear a Marimba band. We've been digging and moving dirt on the worksite, and we had VBS yesterday, and today. It is so cool to see lots of the same kids come back the past few weeks. I think it is really cool when the kids who live next to the clinic come.
I praise God for this opportunity.
