Good Times...


Well, there are not enough words to express what has happened these last couple of weeks...and if there are I am definitly not going to write that much...there is just too much so I will give you an abrigded version.

My time in Mexico City was awesome and it was really encouraging to see some of my classmates! We got to share some of our experiences on the field and just hang out together. I really miss them a lot and feel really blessed that I got to see some of them!


I also got a very big surprise from my mom...She came to Mexico City!! Not very many things surprise me, but this pretty much did it for me. And now she is with me back in Leon for a week! It has been cool to show her my home and friends here in Leon.

Besides all this I got to spend some time with our new team!! There are 4 girls and 2 guys coming to Leon this May! Omar and Tana came for a day and we had our first team meeting with the new team. It was cool because there were three generations of Leon AIMers (LAIMers) there. Two of my teammates from the 05' class are now assistants and were able to go on the trip. The new LAIMers seem really cool and I'm excited to begin working with them.


I hope God is doing amazing things through each of you!!

Elvira and more

Yesterday I started studying with a woman named Elvira. My teammate, Heather, from the 05' class studied with her for a long time before she left. She is really sweet and is teaching me how to cross-stitch. Right now we are studying English through the Bible using LST curriculum. Please pray for God to soften her heart to the gospel and to have a desire to learn more about Him and not just English.

Also, this morning we got a REALLY big surprise!! Two of our classmates from a team in Peru decided to come and visit! They arrived last night and surprised the rest of us this morning. I'm excited to spend time with them and talk about our different experiences. It is soo cool to hear what God is doing in other people's lives!

In a week we will all be traveling to Mexico City to meet the new AIM class and work with them there!! Every year the new class from AIM travels to Mexico City to experience a different culture and help the missionaries out there. I'm very excited to see the new Leon Team and see some people from Lubbock that I miss very much! Please pray for their safe travel in Mexico. It's going to be a very long bus ride for them...

I love you all so much and thank you for the prayers!!! God Bless!
