Back to US soil and I can't get Mexico out of my mind. It's crazy how I had too much to think about before the trip, so I didn't sleep, I was so pumped traveling that sleep didn't come easily, too much to process while there in Mexico and now, so much to share, I still am not sleeping! Oh well, I know sleep will come--eventually (another prayer request??)
As or family drove through the mountains and valleys of the Baja, we were able to talk about some of our highlights. Over the next few days, I will share some of them with you.
This trip had everything I had hoped for. I wanted a place where our entire family could go--and we got that, even though we weren't together all the time, we all got to share in this experience--no one was left behind. It was hard work, eye opening, uncomfortable, sacrificial and a great introduction to how much of the world lives. This experience provided us with a good opportunity to step away from the excessive culture we live in and evaluate what truly is important.
I am finally getting sleepy, so I will quickly share with you one highlight from each family member:
Kim--the joy of using a drama from Bible School to connect with so many people (Chocolate Box).
Renae--seeing how the puppets we brought were used so many times to minister from preschooler to the elderly.
Nathan--seeing how much we truly have and how little we really need.
Abigail--making such an impact on the daycare kids, that when she walks in the dining room they ALL start chanting her name!
Naomi--finding out how easy it is to build a house and change a family's life.
Joel--how playing with kids who don't speak English can be just as much fun as in Canada.
Ethan--preschool in Mexico is just like preschool in Canada--he just fit right in and loved the kids!
Tomorrow, we head north, crossing Hoover Dam & stopping at Saint George, Utah. We are looking forward to being home soon!
