LAM retreat, Madero and Guatemala

Hey all, hope all is well, sorry I haven't written in a week but I have been busy with the LAM retreat, working at Madero and I've been a bit sick too. The LAM retreat was a very encouraging time and it was just great to see and get to know other missionaries that have been in Mexico for a long time, some of them as long as 50 years and to see the heart they have for the country and the work they have done over the years is amazing. I can only hope to have the faith they have one day. It was an encouraging time to get away for a bit and relax and to hear a few messages in English. It was also nice to spend a bit of time with my team who I don't get a chance to see very often. The group of people that work with the Latin American Mission are all very special and I realized spending time with them that I was in a room of amazing and incredible people, each with their own story, but each as amazing as the next. I have been busy at the university I work at (Madero) teaching classes, meeting with students and still trying to start a fellowship. I am now meeting with groups of students on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, varying from 2-7 students each day and hope to continue forward and would ask for prayer for that. Lately I've been feeling kinda sick and would ask for you to life that up in prayer, nothing to make me feel like I can't do what I need to do, but just kinda a nagging stomach bug or something. As a final note, I am leaving next Friday to go to Guatemala for 10 days with my good friend and former roommate Ariel and his family. I am looking forward to getting to know a new country. I am going there because I need to leave the country every 6 months because of the kind of visa I have and won't get another opportunity to leave until August. My college has two weeks off for Easter, the week before and the week after, so I will spend one of those weeks in Guatemala and the other week working with a missions team coming for the states. I hope all is good, much love and God bless.
