Today is Tuesday, July 15th. I am leaving Monterrey and returning home on Saturday, July 19th. The end is approaching rapidly. I can see the tape stretched across the finish line.
This past weekend was pretty cool. On Saturday at the church I got to help out with a VBS type thing. I was drafted as the cameraman, so I tried to do cool things like zoom in a lot on the hands when they were doing crafts and that type of thing. In addition to taping the VBS, I helped out in a few other ways and got to enjoy all the kids, many of whom I had never seen before, though I do not know if they were from nearby neighborhoods or other congregations. After VBS, we played soccer for maybe about three hours. We were all tired by the end, but my team won the final game 7-6.
On Sunday, we had a "Despedida." One married couple is leaving for a preaching school in Texas, a youth group girl is going to study English in Canada for a few months, and I am coming back home. So that is why we had a Good-Bye Party. We grilled out but not hamburgers, but rather some awesome Mexican dish. It was excellent. The members had written notes for the four of us, and they handed those to us and the husband and I both gave short speeches. Also, they had videos for all of us. They were awesome. It was a really good Despedida.
Hopefully I will be able to get the video and put it on You tube with all my others.
