We’ve been back in Mexico for a total of 2 days now, I think. Things have been crazy. There are a lot of things going on.
Yesterday, I met with the president of the National Baptist Youth Union about participating in various workshops on youth ministry this year. I also met our new youth ministry student and taught the first programming class of the year. I have contacted people from our church here in Mexico to see what’s going on, and I also have been planning for a visit from a church in Boca Raton. They will be coming in March, bringing a really cool ministry team with them.
I have lots of grading to do from the classes that I taught last week, and I am preparing for a youth emphasis week in October. I also lined up a speaker for a “youth emphasis” chapel that will be on May 5. That’s enough work in 2 days to last for a while.
Hey! We made it back safely to Mexico from the US. Nathan is great on the plane and in the airport. We almost missed our flight to Mexico City because we had to walk all over the Dallas airport, but other than that, it went well. Customs and Immigration in Mexico took like 5 minutes, so we were pleased with that. We knew we had arrived back in MC when we were stuck in traffic for more than 2 hours to get home. On a good day, we can get there in 30 minutes from the airport.
We were talking on the plane about how travelling always has its happy moments and sad moments. There is always, for us, a happy moment upon landing. We get to see our old friends and family. On the goodbye side, it’s always sad. So, it’s a difficult thing to say goodbye to people, even though you know you have people waiting for you on the other end of the trip, which will make it happy.
Nathan is sick, so it’s making us all miserable. He has a cough, runny nose, and lots of congestion. It seems that he is coming out of it, though. He is taking some medicine the doctor told us to get, so hopefully, he will be fine in a day.
Well…I’m back from my trip, but we leave tomorrow morning for Mexico again. It’s been a whirlwind week, and it’s not finished yet. Hopefully, I’ll get to write more soon.
Okay…so I’m having a problem with my blogger account. So, until then, I had to turn off comments. Sorry. But hopefully that will fix the problem for a while.
I am in Miami, getting ready to head out of the country to a new area for ministry. I’ll be gone for a while with very little internet access, so you will probably not hear from me in a while. Hopefully, when I get back, I can update you more.
So, we got a little money for Christmas, and we wanted to buy a DVD Recorder with it. I’ve been investigating online the different options available for the amount of money we wanted to spend. I found one low-end, no-name brand at CircuitCity.com that I wanted to buy as an alternative to the Samsung I really wanted. However, when we went to the store, the price was different than what it was online. So we decided to drive to Best Buy, and we saw a bunch of open items. They were returns from Christmas, I guess. They were half off of the original price, so we bought the Samsung instead for around $75. It was cheaper than the no-name brand that we were going to buy. It works great. Merry Christmas!!!
