Well, I'm home now, safe and sound. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that. I was starting to have my place and fit in down there, I was getting a pretty good handle on the language, and now I'm gone. I was happy to come home, but I love so many people in Queretaro and I already miss them a lot. I am surprised how easy it is to go through my day and not think about my experience and all I learned there, all those special people. I think I need to process a little bit more.
Praise God that I was healthy and safe my whole time this summer- it really is amazing how He protected me
Praise God for all I learned and how He revealed Himself to me this summer
Pray that my time in Queretaro will have a lasting impact on many aspects on my life in the US.
Pray that I can maintain my relationships with my Mexican friends through the internet
thank you all so much for praying for me. You are a blessing!

A picture is worth a thousand words...
And since I don't feel like writing thousands of words, feast your eyes on these!...
Left: a gordita! Saturday I ate a gordita (not the one in the picture) that was by far the best thing I've eaten here... it was pretty close to life-changing
Below: The Paredes family (minus Ramon, the dad, who is taking the picture) and myself in Bernal
Photos from the youthgroup "garage sale" of sorts. The purpose was to provide a poor neighborhood with cheap clothes, and then use the money to prepare food for people who sell things in the street near the church
Pijamada!!!!!!! (aka slumber party) we are making jewelry. Notice how well I fit in ;) Also, notice that Ariola is having no fun whatsoever at this moment haha!

*I have just over 2 weeks left here. Pray that I can "aprovechar el tiempo" make good use of my time. I want to spend every single day with a purpose. And I don't just want to "hang out" with the girls, I want to point them toward the Savior, I want each conversation to be seasoned with the Holy Spirit. Honestly, I don't really know how to do that, so pray that God gives me wisdom!
