New apartment and sundays visit

hey guys, todays the day where I officially become an adult in Mexico and get my own apartment. I move into this afternoon and while still being in contact with the family i'm staying with currently it will be the first time that I have lived in Mexico entirely on my own. I look forward to the challenge and hope that it treats me well. Tonight I will also be going to a carne asada (BBQ/party) of some people I met at the university I'm working at. I hope to get official word today of whether I will actually get to teach english or not at the university. Keep that and my move in your prayers.

On another note I went on Sunday with what might be my new church to a really rural place in the mountains of the state of Puebla, where they just got electricity recently. We went and handed out a van and car full of blankets, clothing and food and shared with them as well. We played games and sang songs with the kids and then shared a gospel presentation. It was a powerful experience and just hard to believe that people in the world still live with so little and that poverty here in Mexico is not nearly as bad as poverty in other parts of the world. It is just hard to know what to do with all the injustice in the world. So I pray for God to reach is hand down and bring justice into the world, but with this prayer I can only picture God doing the same thing asking why we don't do something about all the injustice in the world. If we could only just do what my favorite verse says:
He has shown you, O man, what is good;
And what does the LORD require of you
But to do justly,
To love mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God?
-Micah 6:8
