The homepage for the center for documentation of the instituto mexicano de la juventud. They have a library and lots of information about young people in Mexico.
The Weather Outside is Frightful
Today is the coldest day it has been in a long time here. It has been raining all night and into the day today, causing it to be downright cold.
The National Meteorological Service says that it will only get to 18 C (64 F) today, while other weather services say it will only get to 46 F. The weather channel prognosticates that the high will be 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Either way, it’s freezing to me.

This Friday Night
Here’s a flyer I made to send home at the Mexico City Christian Academy for our youth group meeting on Friday. We’re going to be talking about changes that come in life and how to deal with them. I think it’s a good topic , especially for this group of kids.
Finding Direction at the zoo
We went to the zoo with the Cottrill family yesterday. They are missionaries studying Spanish in Cuernavaca, and they have two kids that are both older than Nathan.
This was the first time I had ever met someone in person that I met online. It was cool to finally put the real people together with the things we had read about them on their blog. We had a great time. I’m working on a video from our trip, but in the meantime, you can check out the Flickr photos set.
Premios Arpa
Last night, Cole and I went to the Metropolitan Theater downtown for the Premios Arpa. They are music awards for Christian musicians in Spanish.
We arrived quickly, with little traffic, and we had planned to valet park at the event. But the road that the theater is on was blocked off for a parade, so we had to improvise and park in a public parking lot a block and a half away.
The awards show was much better than I had expected, despite the fact that it started a half an hour late (I’ll never get used to that). We had second row seats, and all the people who were receiving awards were sitting a row or two behind us.
I had a great time with Cole. He’s graduating this year and going away to college. I’ll miss him.
