I'm home!!!

Hello everyone!! I'm so sorry about not being able to update the blog for almost a week!! The laptop broke.... which was a bummer, but the second week brought a totally different schedule for us, which would have meant less time to use the computer anyways... So God knew, and we were so blessed to be able to use the laptop at all the first week!!

Where do I even begin?? The second week was our Youth Conference every night and during the day we had painting/cleaning/organizing projects at the Contreras home and on Thursday we painted at Pastor Goldoy's house before we had our 2nd annual pozole lunch!! :)

The youth conference was so great-- over 100 people came each night! Josiah taught through Colossians and our music team plus some other musicians from churches in the area joined them-- they sounded great!

It was a very busy week, but God allowed us all to have the rest we needed! Friday night after the conference ended (sad! :( ) we all went to a really nice taco place Luis recommended to have dinner (it was around 11 PM) and we all got to celebrate another week of God's goodness to us!

Saturday was a really fun day-- but bittersweet because it was our last full day in Mexico.. :( Our whole team plus our families went to downtown D.F. (distrito federal) and went to a place to get a quick bite to eat called Cafete Tacuba.... Then we headed out to go to a huge Cathedral and walk through it, then to the Palacio Nacional to walk around! Then we went to our friend Omega's house for pozole (this time green pozole!) and spending time with eachother! And after that (yes we like to stay busy! :)) we went to the infamous Haagen Daz that we went to last year... We had to relive the experience :) It was a wonderful day of spending time together as a team and with our host families and the Graumans too!!

Then came Sunday (yesterday!), Robin Contreras' birthday, our last day at church with everyone, and the day we had to leave... After church we hurried to the airport to check in all of our luggage, and get a quick bite to eat before the hard part--saying goodbye!!

We got to LA around 7 PM, and were all already missing Mexico so much!
God was so good to us with blessing us yet again with smooth and safe travel, and with no lost luggage or issues with customs!!

Its good to be home, but I'm not going to lie, I miss Mexico! :) I can't wait to go back-- and in the meantime I'll be practicing my Spanish! :)

THANK YOU ALL for your prayers and support and encouragement over these last two weeks! There is a ton of detail I left out of this blog just for time's sake, but I would love to fill you in whenever!

Now comes the good part..... the pictures!! :)
