Dear Reader...
This blog is for my dear friends and family, to keep you up to date on this new adventure I am embarking upon. For those who are not with me, it is my hope to share with you here something of my learnings, experiences, musings, and everyday thoughts, to share with you a piece of my life.

Change

Everything changes, and life is seldom what it seems. Things turn out differently. People disappoint you. And things you thought would disappoint you sometimes surprise you.
My life has been an ebb & flow of change, and I have my own battles of frustration to deal with on a daily basis. But I am trying to see past these petty things to the hand of God - annoyances can be as much a hardship as anything, and there isn't anything quite like them that will quickly show one's lack of character.
Yesterday was more planning - it is hilarious to be on a team with two Aussies. They are constantly chatting on things that just go over my head. Its kind of like living with a nonstop geico commercial.
I hung out with Michelle again last night - she made the playdough while Christian (a returning MC student) and I tinkered on the piano. Later Michelle and I watched Love Comes Softly, and we made a date to watch the second one tonight. Good times.
We also have a new girl, Jennifer, who is coming on Saturday - yippee! So by November we will have three guys and three girls. We officially start tomorrow - how crazy is that!?

Here are some pics from my adventure in Mazatlan...
