I have not forgotten!

The two week mark has just slipped by since the last update, and what do we have here?! Another update! I'm trying to make sure that I keep all y'all in the loop of what is going on and how things are progressing.

School is still going well, my Vida Familiar class in the evenings has been very enjoyable so far. At times it is a little hard to follow with all the jumping around that can be done, however I can say I understand 98% (-/+) of what is talked about word for word.

I am still going down to Mexico each Sunday at 3pm-8:45pm to help out and be the games leader for the local kids when we go down to the house church.


Two Saturdays ago we went down for a work project of clearing a field of rocks so that we would have a place to be able to play games at, instead of in the middle of the side street. We had a lot of help from the fellow students that went and also some of the families in the neighborhood. All in all we had 22 adults there helping out. It was hot work, but will be well worth it. We all shared a lunch, and have to say that it was THE best green spaghetti that I've ever eaten.


This last weekend I was able to head back to Corpus and participate in the Color Me Rad 5K Run/walk. I had a group of friends doing it, along with my parents and we made a morning of it. As you can see, from the start to finish of the race our shirts had a handful of changes made to them. I was tons of fun and was a good way to get out of the daily routine of school.

 


I am still looking for a job. I have gone and seen the manager at Academy 5 different times to help with my chances of being hired on. When I went and talked with him Monday, he told me that they were no longer taking application and we sifting through them now. He also told me that there were over 120 people who had applied for the 2 jobs slots. However he did say that he was impressed with me going to see him each week to keep him reminded about it and would look out for my name, although there were wanting someone who had worked in retail before. So if I get this job, Lord knows that I didn't have anything to do with it.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read this post and look for me to post something else in just over 2 weeks!

Prayers:

Job -  That I will be able to get a job, or if not the Lord will open up other possibilities.
Health - Looks like I might have Pink Eye possibly. I have eye drops that I was given today and they seem to be helping. I think I picked it up from one of the missionary families that had it last week.
Direction - There are quite a few large things that I have to decide on during this semester, prayer for guidance and clarity.
