A Delightfully Blessed Sunday!

From October 10th
1. Today I went to an awesome neighborhood church with my landlord (& about 500 other Mexicans). She had invited me this past week & told me it started at 11. When I knocked on her door, her brother told me he’d be driving me there because she had to leave early to set up for communion. It was a short drive (would probably be a 10-15 minute walk). The people of the church were very welcoming. I knew 2 of the songs they sang, so I just sang along in English! The rest of the time, I was just blessed by listening & looking around at hundreds of my brothers & sisters in Christ, worshipping Jesus! I’m so glad that I brought a bi-lingual Bible with me, so I was able to at least follow along with the many Bible passages the pastor used.


2. I read an entire Karen Kingsbury novel, that I had borrowed from the school’s library. Oh, how wonderfully relaxing that was, to just spend several hours reading! For anyone who is not familiar with her writing, she writes great Christian fiction that encourages you, challenges you, makes you laugh, & makes you cry…  Here is a link to the book on her website.


3. M.E. had volunteered to pick up a couple of grocery items for me today, since they were driving down to Sam’s Club & the big Soriana (grocery) store. One of the things was eggs. So, I made eggs for the first time here. I LOVE eggs! They taste so yummy & they’re SO cheap, compared to other proteins! But, I love ketchup on my eggs & I hadn’t bought any ketchup yet. SO ~ I had them with barbeque sauce instead!


4. I officially met a missionary couple who lives on the same street as me. It’s great to know they’re just down the street!


5. I was told today that I’m going to be loaned a tv! WOW! What a blessing!!!


6. All weekend long, I was putting off my lesson planning. When I finally sat down to do it, I was inspired to create a website list for students/parents for this new Science chapter. I spent about 2 hours looking at & downloading video clips of the solar system, seasons, earth’s rotation/revolution, moon’s phases, lunar & solar eclipses… The class LOVED the ones I found for the last 2 Science chapters, so I’m sure this will be well worth the time spent! I just wish I would have started earlier in the weekend, so I wasn’t falling into bed at midnight on Sunday night!
