I haven't posted in a couple of weeks; I'm sorry. This weekend, we're heading up to Malinche, a dead volcano about halfways between Puebla and Mexico City, for the fall retreat. I'm really excited, and I'm excited to see what God does through this weekend. I promise to write a real update when I get back Sunday... Monday at the latest, hopefully.
Things to pray about for the retreat:
- A good turnout... right now we're estimating about 20 Mexicans, which is more than last year but not up to our original goal of 2 Mexicans to every 1 gringo.
- Logistics/safety... safety on the trip, and no difficulty with getting everyone/everything to the camp. Safety in the higher altitude, especially for those who climb Malinche.
- Receptiveness... we have several people coming who aren't Christian. Pray that they hear the message and want to know more.
- Language... Angie challenged the 10 exchange students to talk as little as possible this weekend, and to speak in Spanish whenever we do talk. Pray for patience and endurance to speak all Spanish, all weekend.

Stories, adventures, and thoughts from a semester as an exchange student studying at UDLA and serving at a college ministry in Puebla, Mexico. The ministry is called "El Pozo," or "The Well."
