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.

1st Day Back In Oaxaca...3 Kings' Day

From Thursday, January 6, 2011

This was my first day back teaching. It was great to see everyone again!  Amber did really well, helping out in the classroom & getting to know the students!  After the first day, she said, "I think I would enjoy being a teacher." 
After school, I spent a couple of hours unpacking all of my suitcases, putting things into organized piles. (I had brought back things for myself, things 7 other missionaries had asked for, & donated gifts for the staff & students of the school.)
Then, we spent an hour grocery shopping.  It is 3 Kings' Day here in Mexico.  It is a day when small gifts are exchanged & it signifies the end of the holiday season.  So, there were these special cakes (in a variety of sizes) being sold in the stores & on the corners.   
I bought 1 of each of the 3 kinds of cheeses here for Amber to try.  I'd already told her I didn't care for any of them...

After putting away the groceries, I spent an hour putting away some of the things from the suitcases.
Then, I cooked supper for us.
It was 9pm by the time we ate.
Then, I put my swollen feet/ankles up for a bit before bed.
It was a good, productive day, but it was a LONG day!!
