Back in Mexico

I made it back to Mexico and it feels good to be here and to be reunited with our group.  I spent most of yesterday unpacking and catching up with everyone.  This afternoon I will be visiting our neighborhood and I’m very excited to visit our friends and see how they are doing.  Pray that God would help me in my Spanish – I’ve been out of practice for a while.  Please continue praying for me as I am readjusting to life in Mexico.  I am excited about this semester and am anticipating God working and moving in big ways in and through us.  I already feel like I’ve learned so much, and I’ve only been here for a day.  I read Matthew 10 this morning where it talks about loving God more than your family and giving up your life to follow him.  Jesus says that when we lose our lives, we will find them.  I hope that this semester I lose my life and find true life – life in abundance.  I hope that as I get to know Jesus more, my love for Him will be unrivaled.  I was reminded yesterday that I don’t need friends, I don’t need family, and I don’t need money – all I need is Jesus.  The other stuff is great, but I can live without it.  I cannot live without Jesus.
