I'm really tird and have to wake quasi early so i'm gonnna do some highlights in point form:
- seeing God answer prayers, like bladder control on the way down
- watching God work through the youth while down there
- having tons of memories flood back into mind as soon as i crossed the border
- falling in love with mexico once again
- recieving the largest smile from the woman we were building the house for EVERYTIME i walked by her. *which was a lot*
- Donas Tutti!!
- coconut fruit bars
- swimming with sharks *litterally!! talk about crap my pants batman!!*
- Surfing for the first time!!! *seperate day than the sharks*
- watching the baywatch boys run on laguna beach *i dont think i've ever laughed that hard! ok that's a lie but soo funny!!*
- getting hyper and steamrollin' the youth girls hahaha!
- cultivating deeper relationships cross generationally and with my youth
- inventing "nurf ball" the sweetest backseat game ever!
- spanish church based on philipians 1 and 4. "we all have our prisons but they can't cage us in when we have a purpose and a mission for our life" *paraphrase of the message*
- having a dance party while doing dishes
- spending time with the Lord while watching a giant mexican flag fly over the city
- having an old western photograph taken at knotts berry farm *it was decent don't you worry*
- being an "adult" now and not having to obey curfew PLUS leading a group down into the city...seriously when did this happen!
- getting to see ANNE! A friend that lives in Ontario but who was in aneheim! *she drove all night just to see us off in the morning from our hotel!*
- hearing God being praised in another language
- watching the exchange of a key and a heartfelt thankyou...the dedication of the homes
Alrighty thats what is coming out at this point...i'm sure there will be some more random stuff later or an expansion of some of this but for now i must say adious! austa leuga!!

Oh hooooray for youth group trips to Mexico! They are such great experiences! Even the really hard stuff turns out to be a fond memory! Well... maybe not all of it... like when our van broke down in East LA and I lost the kids for a while... but yeah.
I can just see you doing all of that stuff. It made me smile. I mean it.
You should give Ecuador a shot sometime, I think you´d like it here. I know I do...
