Swinging

September 4, 2007
Altotonga, Mexico -- Hey! Well, I am working on getting back into the swing of things having just arrived back in Altotonga a few days ago.The trip down here was just interesting... I had forgotten what travel is like on Labor Day Weekend, and even in the Mexico City bus station, there were just hundreds of people. Insanity.

So, I made it into Mex City about an hour and a half later than I thought I would, and arrived to pass through immigration with some 200-300 people in front of me. But, I lived.Cool story though-- I arrived to TAPO (the Mex City bus station) and my bus was going to leave at 11:40pm. I had about 40 minutes to check my luggage, and for 20 minutes I stood in the line to check it (I was a good 40 feet away) and no one had moved. I was like, Lord, what am I going to do? You´ve got to help!

I remembered a story about someone who had prayed in tongues while waiting in line, and I figured I must be remembering for a reason. So, I started to pray in tongues, and when I started people started to move. I just smiled when all this started happening. Within 15 minutes I had checked my luggage. Prayer is so powerful! And God is SO cool! I've never been SO happy in my life to get on a bus. Arrived to Altotonga at about 4:15am. By the time I got to bed, they had begun setting the market up outside of my apartment, with their clanking poles and energetic music. So, I'll working my schedule back together. I'm excited to be here, excited for plans for this coming year, excited to see what God has in store.In this week I'm also going to see about starting the application for my FM3 process.. which right now will just be phone calls. Other than that, no big events for the coming weeks-- just club schedule and the more logistical planning of college age stuff and dance class. I will keep you all updated on what's going on! Have a fabulous day!
