Well, I'm coming to the end of my stay here now in Mexico. I leave already on Tuesday. It's hard to think about leaving when I feel like I'm starting to establish myself here. But it will be good to be back in Des Moines, continueing to serve God's purpose for me there still.
I thought I would have updated more on this blog during my stay, but it easily gets busy and tiring here. A good way to sum up my time here is through a verse that came to mind one morning walking to the church: "Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good!" (Ps.34:8) Through my visit I have gotten a taste of what's to come, and indeed, the LORD is good! I am so thankful for what God has done in my life to bring me here and what He has in store for me. I know there will be struggles too, and I got a taste of that as well, but I've seen how God helps me and encourages me.
And "campamento," the church's week-long retreat, went well. I ended up only being there essentially 2 full days, which was good, since even that got a bit tiring and overwhelming. The first day was a lot to process and take in and it did get overwhelming, but the next day I felt more relaxed and was encouraged through it all. My prayer for my time there was that I would be able to connect with the church. I feel God answered my prayer in that I now feel more comfortable with them and know more people. God is good.
I ask you please keep in prayer for me as I prepare to go back to Iowa, not only for safe travel, but also for settling back into my life there and as I use my time there in preparation for my eventual return to Monterrey.
