Beautiful

As usually I find myself thinking back to where I used to live. I go to school, play soccer, and do homework. But not a day goes by without me thinking of PA. I can usually think of it without having tears rolling down my face. But every once in a while, I can not help but cry. I go to my room after school, and try to do my school, but my mind always wonders. Back to the days that I used to know. I am continuing to adjust to living here, but I am not sure if I will ever truly get used to it. Only with God will I be able to. I just need to give it all to Him.

Today, my family, Daniel, and I, went on a little trip. We went really close to two of the volcanoes that are here. It was a great view, and we got some pretty awesome pictures. I am amazed at how amazing they look. The one, called Popo, is active. So people can not go to the top anymore. But you can still get pretty close, and see how beautiful it is. I was glad that we went, although I was not happy that I forgot a coat. The wind was extremely cold up there, cause we were so high up. I think that we were about 12, ooo feet, but I am not sure. When we were eating lunch, i wrapped a huge, white blanket around me. So Daniel called me, "Chief white blanket." I was honored to have that name. Ha ha.

Please continue to pray, we all need it. And lately I have been feeling very, very homesick.

Um...

I hear that the weather up in the States is quite, chilly. Is this true? Well, i can honestly say that the cold weather is something that I do not miss at all. It is so nice here. Sunny everyday, with some wind occasionally. Although, Christmas was not exactly the same because it was very warm here. But I got over it, and had a wonderful holiday season.

Well anyway, i would like to talk to you all a little bit about, my life. Lately, i have been feeling really homesick, and miss the people that I know back home. I am still getting used to living here, i might never get used to it. But you know what they say, "Never say never."

God has been teaching me allot. Mostly to trust in him only, and no one else. He has been showing me that His plan for my life, is way better than anything that i could ever imagine. He wants to bless me, and use me for so many things. I just need to trust Him that He knows what He is doing. Because His plan for us, is the best thing we could ever ask for, we just need to give our life to him. In total submission, trust Him fro everything. I have found out that I can not make ti through one day, without Him. I need to give every day to Him, because with Him, i can do all things.

Please keep up the prayer, and the support.

Wow...that was sweet.

It is amazing the things that one can do with a soccer ball, and two feet. All you need is your legs, feet, chest, knees, and a soccer ball. The possibilities are absolutely endless. I have seen some pretty amazing things here, and i am very impressed. I thought that Americans were good(which some are) but they are nothing compared to Mexicans.
In the States, people play soccer as a sport, for fun, or just cause, they think they will look cool if they do. But here, Mexicans play soccer, cause it is life. They play for not only fun, but because that is just what they do. They live, breathe, and eat soccer. Which is called futbol here.

I think that the States should get more into soccer, and not only worry about football, or baseball. Although, that is only my opinion, but it is a very good at that. Anyway.

I have been doing well, i guess. Not as good as I could be, but anyway. I suppose I well get better. School has been going on, and I have been trying to keep up. It has been allot of work, and I am very tired, waiting for the next break. Ha ha.

Please keep up the prayer, especially for me. I am still getting used to living here, and being away from all my friends is not fun. I also ask that when you read this blog, that you would please leave me a comment. It would be very nice if you did, and I would appreciate it very much. Please keep my in your mind, and in your prayers.
