Things are slowly starting to wind down here in Tlaxiaco, yet kicking into high gear at the same time. This week has been super busy with solar cooker demonstrations, getting to know my neighbors in barrio, visiting friends in Yucanama and playing futbol with the kids I´ve met this summer. I also had to bid a sad farewell to my friend Juana and her family.
I am incredibly excited about this weekend. The Christian base Global Frontier Missions is hosting a Youth Conference - similar to the retreats Christian teenagers go on in America. People age 12-18 are coming from all over Mexico for this conference, and I will be participating as a team leader for a small group. I´m so excited because it will be an awesome opportunity to speak and worship in Spanish the entire weekend. I love this age range of students; I understand how hard middle and high school can be, and I want to teach high school for this reason. I´m hoping to learn what struggles Hispanic students go through so I can understand and relate to a larger population of my students once I begin teaching next year!
I have to go prepare for the conference - but I hope to update everyone more in depth by next Sunday!
Blessings and peace,
Danielle
