Last Mexico Days...

Right now, I am sitting in the Tallahassee airport waiting to board my flight to Atlanta and then travel on to Denver, Colorado. I am looking forward to spending the weekend with some good friends and then attending the "debriefing and renewal" program at MTI (Mission Training International) this week. It's designed for missionaries returning to the U.S., either permanently or on furlough. I am not quite sure what to expect, but I know it will be good to be around other people in a similar situation who understand what it's like to try to adjust to American life again while missing somewhere else so much.

As you can see, I haven't blogged in quite awhile. While I am not the most consistent blogger to begin with, this is partially because my last six weeks in Fresnillo were so incredibly busy...and I loved them!! While packing and finishing up administrative tasks aren't much fun, spending time with people is one of my very favorite things and when you're leaving Mexico, everyone wants to have you over for a meal. :) I'm incredibly thankful for the way the Lord sovereignly worked out my schedule each day, allowing me to spend quality time with so many wonderful friends. I am also grateful for sweet times of closure with my Club girls, ÉXITO kids, and Exprésate students. There's so much more I could say, but here are a just a few of the MANY pictures I took in those days that give a small taste of them...
