What a wild ride so far. We have been living in El Paso instead of Juarez for a few weeks now and man has it sucked up my time! we spend at least two hours in the border line trying to get back 'home' after our ministry days, we don't have internet at the church which means another twenty minutes driving to the cafe with free wifi.. we love Kinley's House in El Paso. I promise this isn't me whining about it. The fact that I sound entitled to free internet and an easy life is not intended. That's not the intention, merely to point out that my posts will be less often until we can love on the church secretary a bit and acquire the network code :)
Ministry stuff has been going great! I am loving my work and the blessing of seeing the same group of women day after day. I am building some great deep frienships with women in the area. This weekend we are going to a Quincenera for one of the girls at the church Becky and I go to and we will be staying at Vero's house after. The next morning we work at the children's comedor so it will be a busy morning!! I can't believe it is already this far into November!
We had an amazing Halloween experience as a team. I suggested to the others that we do can-drive trick or treating, so we all dressed up nice and hilarious and went out in our neighborhood. We collected about a box and a half of canned food to bring over to some of the families we know in Juarez. What a blessing to give the food directly to families we know NEED the can of beans, salsa, or soup. And the smiles on their faces mean so much! Its a lot different giving it to a soup kitchen, or a food bank, you don't always know who's getting it on a personal level.
This week I went to the orthopedic doctor. I needed to get my shoulder checked out. I disclocated it really bad this summer and haven't had it checked out since I was in Oklahoma. They are making me get an MRI and the doc says surgery is probable. Pray for me that this will be an easy surgery and recovery. Its hard to not use an entire limb! I am grateful for relief though, I have been hurting a good amount recently.
Blessings!!
