Hey all, I just want to again thank all of you for your love and support of me over these past few months here in Mexico. I most certainly could not do what I do without you all. I am so thankful to God for all the amazing friends I have in many different parts of the world. I am so thankful for the amazing friends I have made her in Puebla. Today I spent most of the day at a birthday party of one of the guys from my church and it has been so cool to realize that for the first time I have true genuine amazing friends that I consider as peers. It has been awesome ministering to them, being ministered by them and doing God's work today. I recently started an English class/Bible study with a group of them and have been excited with the turnout. God continues to be my strong tower despite my doubts and fears.
On another note my soccer team ministry which had/has been going well outside of the concept of winning a game finally played well enough to win a game. We have been a light I think to the rest of the teams in our league, sharing with them and bring a different level of sportsmanship to the game, but on Saturday we finally put together a decent game and won 3-2. I played sweeper the whole game and for the first time in a long time felt like I was actually playing in a real game of soccer. On another note I have continued to become a bigger fan of soccer in general, Mexican or any other country and thanks to the internet and Mexican newspapers can keep up with things very well.
Finally, to end my post I can say that each day that I spend here I am more Mexican and continue to learn so many things from my friends and the Mexican culture. I think I have learned how to be more flexible, to be more generous and hospitable and to trust God more. I continue with these lessons, but have had a great teachers to help me along the way. While I wouldn't say I necessarily feel fulfilled or called to continue with my ministry here in Puebla or for that matter as a full time career ministry worker, I continue to feel drawn to the idea of living in Latin America and maybe even staying here for a long time. As for now I continue to serve God in the best way I can and trust that he will sow me the next step in his due time. Much love to all of you and may God truly bless you all.
