Esperanza y enseñanza: November 2010
http://esperanzayensenanza.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 30, 2010. Acá en Mexico, todo es posible. Here in Mexico, everything is possible. This is what Agustin says every time he drives down the wrong side of the road. At first he seemed to be looking for a reaction from me, but having lived in Colombia for almost a year, driving down the wrong side of the road for short periods of time just isn’t that weird to me. Driving in reverse downtown makes me much more nervous! I tried to take a video, but it didn’t really capture the effect. Obvious...

Saturday, December 18, 2010. Feliz Navidad a todos! Tuesday, December 14, 2010. We Wish You A Merry Christmas. 8216;Tis the season- I love Christmas time, not just Christmas day, but the preparations before as well. It is always hard to be away from home this time of year… be forewarned, next year I will probably be extra-Christmassy to make up for it! But of course Christmas is here too. (Although in the middle of a bright sunny afternoon, it doesn’t seem especially Christmassy.). The most common is.

Esperanza y enseñanza: Just an update
http://esperanzayensenanza.blogspot.com/2011/03/just-update.html
Saturday, March 5, 2011. So, I’m still in Tlaxiaco… lest you think that I spend all my time traveling… not true. The majority of the time I’m here at Casa Hogar. Life is. And that’s good. Days go by with a routine that leaves plenty of time for hanging out, reading and playing games. Mostly, the changes happen slowly, but there are some changes…. The cold temperatures of November, December and January are gone, and the sun is officially a. 8230; I got burnt the other day! March 5, 2011 at 12:17 PM. I am ...

Friday, September 24, 2010. New Country, New Blog. My next adventure starts soon! In less than a week I will be flying to Mexico to volunteer for about 7 months. I will be serving as a volunteer with the United Methodist Volunteers In Mission program. I will be placed in a children's boarding home. So, we will also get to visit with them before continuing on to Oaxaca. I'm excited to be in a place where I can continue to improve my Spanish skills, build new relationships and grow in my faith. I will be s...

Esperanza y enseñanza: A visit
http://esperanzayensenanza.blogspot.com/2011/03/visit.html
Tuesday, March 29, 2011. I cannot believe how quickly March has gone by! It’s hard to know when I will be able to. And even if some of the students are still here, others will have moved on. Some goodbyes will be final. So… three more weeks. That makes me sad… but then, it should, right? It shows that I have, in fact, built a life here. Everyone at Casa Hogar with our visitors.

Esperanza y enseñanza: October 2010
http://esperanzayensenanza.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 24, 2010. Look at the birds: they do not plant seeds, gather a harvest and put it in barns; yet your Father in Heaven takes care of them! Aren’t you worth much more than birds? One of the pastors talked of how birds sing praises to God every morning, without worrying where their next meal will come from. God will provide. Aunque sea nada mas tortillas y sal, pero tenemos comida y alabamos al Señor. Time, a woman came up. She said that she did not normally attend this church, but that ...

Esperanza y enseñanza: A time to plant
http://esperanzayensenanza.blogspot.com/2011/04/time-to-plant.html
Wednesday, April 6, 2011. A time to plant. Last weekend we had a work party to plant corn. Like many people in Oaxaca (and other parts of rural Mexico, I’m sure! La Casa Hogar grows its own corn. Not long after I arrived in the fall, it was time for harvesting, and now it is time to plant again. And was reminded again, that this process of planting and harvesting is old, and these people have been planting corn for a very long time. The men worked hard digging the holes with one end of their. I always en...
