The Homestretch

I'm writing to you all from Atlanta!

After clearing customs and immigration (I learned something new there- apparantly, a tortilla press is a weapon- who knew?) I took a shuttle to our hotel, which is across the street from the MTW headquarters where I will be completing debrief training over the next two days- and then I will be HOME!!!!

This past week was the same VBS curriculum - Rancho Avalancha - but this time with a twist. Outside. In a tent. The Americans invlolved in this week at Vida Nueva Church joked that this week would be for our sanctification- I think they were right : ). This week was especially significant because most of the kids (close to a hundred this time) involved were not from the church as in past weeks. Also, we added a women's otreach-devotional and craft- and a soccer outreach. The soccor was fun but we got schooled in the US vs. Mexico games- Men 5-1, Women 3-2. One of those points was my fault- appartantly you get penalized for using your hands : ). Oops...

Anyway, that week was very exciting- pictures will follow.

Please keep me in your prayers as I reajust to life in the US- I don't anticpate many difficulties :).
