Hi Everybody!
Life has been crazy here in León this past month, full of it's own comings and goings, endings and beginings. It's all been moving so fast, sometimes it's hard to believe it's been a whole month. Then there are other times when it's hard to think of myself as living anywhere but here. It definently feels like home.
Several big things have happened since I got here: our team was completed when Michelle got here on June 2nd and we got to have 13 AIMers in León all at once (our 7 plus the 08 team's 6), but then sadly one of the girls from the 08 class, Trasa who had completed her committment in León returned home to Texas, so now we are 12 and are preparing for more departures of AIMers and missionaries soon.
Also we had a group from Wasilla, Alaska come to visit. I really enjoyed getting to know them and working with them some with what they were doing. We helped them do a VBS for the boys at an orphanage. That was a lot of fun!
Spanish class also started for us new AIMers. We've learned a lot already. Our coordinator's wife Tana is a good teacher. We do a lot of work but it's going to pay off in the end. I've been getting to know the city pretty well and I'm able to do a lot of the basic tasks I need to do without needing somone to translate for me.
The church here is really great! I'm getting to know the members some. A few of them speak English but most don't so we just try to communicate as best we can. Last weekend we went to the state capital Guanajuato with a lot of the youth from the church to have a youth reunion with the youth from Guananjuato. It was a lot of fun! The missionary there and his wife were very welcoming and glad to have us there. On top of all that, Guanajuato is a beautiful city. I can't wait to go again.
We've been invited next month to go help with a VBS down in the south of Mexico that a church in Dallas is doing. I'm really excited about it! I'm told that the south of Mexico is very different from central Mexico where we are.
Well, that's all for now. Thank you all for reading! God bless!
