i made it

so i have made it to tlaxiaco oaxaca mexico! ive been here a week and 1 day now, and it feels like much longer!! yes i have been quite homesick but im praying that it will get better. i have met several people and made alot of friends from all over the united states. Our base is right in the middle of the mountains which is absolutely beautiful. it is actually quite chilly and rainy here since it is there rainy season. so far i have mainly been in staff training. learning all about the culture and outreach projects. Tlaxiaco is a fabulous city..its about 30,000 people and i love the culture here. we eat ALOT!! lots of authentic mexican food but im really enjoying it, and i havent gotten tooo sick yet..we were able to go visit ruins in a nearby village and they were amazing, and over 2400 years old. i took lots of pics which i will post when i get home...next monday the mission trip groups will come in and my time will be reallly busy.. but please check globalfrontiermissions.com as they will be posting new videos of the work that we are doing each day. also please please please continue to pray for me as i need it soo much...

my time is over for the internet, so until then
i love you all
