'Tis Been Awhile

Apparently I've been busy. On January 9th another intern named Heather arrived. She will be here for three months and hails from a town of 100 in southern Ontario named Eagle. She attends Emanuel Bible College and graduates in April with a missions degree. Afterwards she will move on over to the great city of Calgary to attend Canadian Theological Seminary therefore becoming my neigbor as they share one of AUC's floors.

We share a room. Its going well. We climbed the Sun and Moon pyramids together yesterday. That was bonding! Its a tough climb up those.

As most of you know, I went to Cuernavaca for six days in there. I worked with four people from the Vermillion Alliance Church, painting the school and dining room of a "Casa Hogar". A Casa Hogar is a home for orphans, but also for abused and neglected children. I went there in November for a day with my cell church as well. The kids are amazing and it blew me away what joy they had despite all they have had to overcome in their short lives. The workers there are all volunteers, commenting that they do it simply because they are Christians and that even without an income, God has never let them go hungry. They do many things to make money for the home as well as depending on other's support as there is no government funding in Mexico even if it is the government who has given them most of the kids. I definantly cried upon leaving. God has put on my heart a few of those children to keep praying for.

Well I am sure I will be a bit more regular in writing now...maybe :)
