Sorry we have not blogged as much recently. With school starting the last couple of weeks we have been extremely busy. Funny enough, last week I was going to post a blog entitled Craving the Mother Tongue, but in a weeks time I don't think that is so much the case any longer. There are times when you long to sit on your back deck as you sit here cramped in the city. There are other times when you miss the cleanliness or openness of the United States. Last week, I think we both were thinking about those things frequently, but in the last week we have really been convicted that we need to appreciate this experience for what it is and cease making comparisons. God has brought us here for a reason and lets embrace this wonderful opportunity to build relationships, dive into the culture, and share the gospel as we are called.
There are many great things about Mexico. It is not the US and for the most part does not try to be. The school, while nothing like the US, has its own charms and beauty. I will post pictures of the school shortly. Our kids are already soaking up the language like a sponge and building friendships with children they can barely communicate with! They and we get to see a completely different side of humanity and we cn tell that it impacts them, much like it impacts us. We knew at times this would be a difficult transition, but we also always knew that the experience would be unforgettable. We want to trust God for this time and not miss a moment.
