God+You+Me are Pieces of the Puzzle, working together, to share the Good News with others!

Matt. 28:19&20~"Go, make disciples of ALL the nations ~ teach them to obey all the commands I have given..."

Our response to His command can be only one of 3: to Go, to Send Others, or to Disobey. (John Piper)

In the spring of 2010, I spent 7 weeks in Oaxaca, Mexico, as a volunteer teacher at a school for children of missionaries. God opened the door for me to return for the 2010-2011 school year.

If you click on posts from January - March of 2010, you'll see posts on the lessons I'm learning on patience & vision.

Posts from April 2010 - June of 2011, are about daily life in Oaxaca, including pictures of the food, the people, & the most memorable moments of my experience.

Dia de los Muertos ~ Day of the Dead

from October 30, 2010
Today, I got on the bus, by myself, in my neighborhood, for the first time, to go downtown to explore the sights and sounds of the cultural experience Day of the Dead. 
Because I wanted to know more about this cultural festival, I talked with several Mexicans, a few missionaries, & did my own research online on like 10 different sites.
According to my research from the past few days, it’s a celebration of the lives of loved ones passed on. A site that had a really detailed explanation was www.dia-de-los-muertos.com
I met up with 2 of my friends downtown in the zocalo (town square) where there was a sand art displayed. 
Then, we went out to lunch.

Then, we walked to the San Miguel Cemetary to see the beginnings of the decorating of tombstones.
