no.293 140217 Thank you for lunch with a Mexico team member

Korean walnut cakes…. yum!

I had a lunch date with one of my Mexico team members. Seeing pastor Rolando last week definitely brought back a lot of memories from my mission trip the past summer. It helped me reconnect with my team members over the week, just catching up and also talking about future plans on going back to Guadalajara on a short term. It was nice seeing him today, as he isn't able to come to church often because of his school. I'm thankful for the meal we shared, and also thankful for the heart for God that God has given him over the past half year since Mexico.

I don't think it was a coincidence for pastor Rolando to message me again today. Perhaps it's a sign that I must return to Mexico this summer?! Whatever the reason may be, he has made my day once again:) It's such a delight talking to him! I really think I should learn Spanish. We've been talking in two languages - he would text me in English (I think he sometimes uses the translator, but most of the time he doesn't) and I always use the translator, because I have no knowledge of Spanish other than simple words. If God is sending me back to Mexico this summer, I gotta learn Spanish! I made a promise to myself that the next time I go to Mexico, I would learn the language so I can communicate with the children at least!

Buenas noches!
