And then there were two...

I´m a numbers person. Not in the fact that I´m a math person, much to my mothers dismay (A math brain seems a little more reliable in today´s job market :-), but in the fact that I´m a detail oriented person: How many gallons of koolaid for dinner? How many colored tickets do I need for the clothing handout this week? Well this week, CHI was blessed with the presence of 47 servents from Pennsylvania and North Carolina. The sentiment in the title reflects how quiet this place seems now, with only BJ and me.

It was so awesome to reaquaint with old friends and faces, and meet dozens of new ones. This group accomplished so much, brought so much energy and they will all be missed. With so many people, this group had a little bit of everything. Many jobs were completed, and so so many smiles graced the faces of the children. En lieu of the usual nightly game of futbol (soccer) this group ended each night with a massive dance party that included Little Sally Walker, Cotton Eyed Joe, and YMCA. It was great to see everyone let loose and just be silly.These little moments I know I will always remember, and I am so blessed to have a front row seat at this place that so many people love. At the end of each week, when we say good-bye to each group, I get to stay. I do not take this for granted. I do realize how unbelievably lucky I am to be serving God in this manner, and I thank Him every single day for calling me to Reynosa once again.


I´m a numbers person, so it has not escaped my eyes that BJ and I only have three weeks left. I pray for strength to make it to the end, and even more, for the strength it will to take to drive away for the last time, knowing the summer has ended. I hope to live every moment, whether dancing in the cancha, spending time in a morning devotional, or fumbling through my Spanish. Thanks once again to all who have made it possible for me to be here, doing what I LOVE.

Dios les bendiga!
