On cold showers, moving and some pictures

Wow, can't believe that four weeks from today I will be moving back to Mexico City, it's hard to believe how fast time goes by. I mean it seems just yesterday that I got here, but at the same time like I've been here for a long time. I am ready to on some level to start the summer program and do something different, but I am going to miss all my friends and family here in Puebla. It has really felt like home to me. The people from my church youth group have really been some amazing friends and will be tremendously missed. I've had so much fun with them and had so many awesome and deep conversations. I still would love one day to come back and live in Puebla again. Its just kinda rough to be moving all the time and have little to no stability. It's been fun and I have experiences that most people will never have, I have met so many people and learned so many things, but its hard to keep leaving so many friends. First, after four awesome years at UMD and at SigEp it was so tough to leave them, then it was tough to leave all my Mexico City friends and family and now to leave everyone here in Puebla and in just four months or so to leave México entirely to go who knows where. I would ask for prayer for continued guidance for my future wherever it might lead me.
For the last month or so I had decided that I would only take cold showers and it has been an interesting time. I decided to do so for several reasons, one most of the world doesn't have the luxury of a warm shower, so for me it has been a daily reminder that the life I live is not the same as most of the world, that the college degree and the warm showers are something that a minority of the world has and to really be thankful for what I have. Also, it has been a way to save energy and to try to minimize my effect on the planet. This morning I took my first hot shower in a long time and really enjoyed it, but the whole time with only cold showers helped me to appreciate the little things like warm showers.
Finally, please continue to pray for the students at my school. Last week there were 7 people at the English Bible study including 3 new people and just please keep them in your prayers. Continue to especially lift up a guy named Andrés, tomorrow we are scheduled to meet up and just to pray that we would be able to meet and just have a good conversation.

My two most faithful Bible study attendees David and Luis, they came over to my place last week after the study and we made hamburgers on the grill and just had a great time chilling and talking.


Normally about once a week I go to visit a home for disabled people just to talk to the guys and cheer them up. The guy on the left is named Mario and on the right is Miguel. Please pray for them and for the disabled home that in English would be called Rivers of Mercy. Pray especially for Mario who somehow got out of the house and can't be found so is somewhere out on the street.
