So here I sit in my room at 1am trying to pack my stuff up and get ready to move on. I can honestly say that my friends here are some of the closest that I have ever had, it has just been an amazing experience for me to see how many people I have gotten to know at such a depth. I definitely have struggled with my job and whether I made any impact here. At times I definitely wasn't sure, but after my 1 week farewell tour I am confident that God has worked here both in and through me. I am grateful for such an honor to be able to do his work. I honestly love so many people here and will always carry Puebla in my heart. For me the greatest complements I have received have been from people who have told me that I will always carry Mexico in my blood and thanked me for making efforts to be Mexican. For me it is one of the greatest complement I can receive. I strongly believe that it is an ability to become more Mexican that allows for a ministry to thrive, for friendships to thrive and for life long friendships to be forged. I pray that my time here might make a difference here for time to come, that God would continue to work in me and in the people I had contact with. I pray for encouragement, hope and perseverance as I enter into this new phase being a leader for the summer program. I pray that I might be able to keep in contact with my amazing friends and family here. Thank you all for your prayers and support.
