Back to the basics

It has been a while since I have actually told you all about things that are going on here. Lately I have been talking about other things. So now I will tell you all about other things. Different things than I have been talking about.

Puebla is pretty much the same. Not much has changed. Well I have changed a lot. God has shown me a lot living here and a lot of other things have changed. I don't know if you all will recognize me or not, who knows. I also have an update for all of you. My grandmother has cancer on her lung and had surgery today. So I ask all of you to pray for her as she now has one lung. Please pray.

School is going well, I think. I am being "home taught" this year, which is pretty cool. I like it better than the school I went to last year. Let's just say that I did not have a very good experience there, we will leave it at that. But I am happy with being home schooled, because it's cool. Plus just being able to say that you are home schooled is cool, well I think so. Anywho, things have been pretty normal around here. I do school in the morning at like 8:30 or so, and I usually end at like 1:00 or so. That is what I do in the mornings and then I do some chores around the house; then I play guitar, get on the computer, or go play soccer. That is what a normal day consists of, pretty cool I guess. Although sometimes things do not go as planned so I don't get done with school till like 5:00 or so. But that does not happen very much, good thing too. Cause all work and no play would make me a dull boy. And I try not to be, well most of you know that I am not a dull boy.

Lately things have been going a lot better than they ever have here. Most likely because I am doing good spiritually. I have never felt closer to God than I do right now. Of course there are those days when that is not so, but most of the time. God has broken me a lot while I have been here, but each time He has made me stronger. He has always been here for me through everything and has helped me to make it through. I have learned many, many things. One is that I need to rely on Him for everything, I can not make it through the day without Him. I have tried and it does not work, trust me. Especially here I need Him all the time. I feel that one reason that I am here is to get closer to God. In the States life was pretty easy, well you know what I mean. It was easier for me then living here is. That is one reason I have gotten closer to Him, because I need Him more, for I am nothing. I have gotten strength from Him and fell into His loving arms when I could not stand. He always picks me up when I fall and sets my feet back on the right path. I thank God for what He has done for me and for who He is making me into. I pray that someday I would be a man after God's own heart like David was. That is what I am striving for and one day, with the help of my Savior, I hope to achieve it.

Please keep up the prayer for everyone here and for my family, thanks!!
