Mexico!

So this post is a heck of a lot happier than the last...and I have no clue how this is not going to turn into a huge novel! Spring Break was amazing! I went to Mexico City, Mexico for a missions trip with RUF and absolutely loved it. I wish I could have stayed for about a month longer! The people were so genuine and humble...and FUN! haha The christians we got to work with were so precious and the fellowship was certainly sweet. It was remarkable to see how God is the same God no matter where you go and He is always loving on His people, sustaining them. He has made Himself known and the people there have such a heart for Him. The people who took us under their wing for the week were Peter and Ruth. Peter is a missionary there and Ruth is kind of his intern...they are so cool, and so encouraging. God has blessed their ministry greatly, so please, if any of you reading this remember, pray for the missionaries in Mexico!!! Even the people who weren't christians there were so sweet and REAL! They genuinely were excited to hear about the Lord and wanted to know more. SO COOL. I'd love to go back and do long-term stuff there. It really makes me want to go to other places in the world too...anyways. So Mexico rocks and being back here in Tampa is kind of rough. It's cool to see everybody but the actual classes part sucks haha. I'm struggling in math :( It's so hard for me, but Eli is being the great friend that he is and is helping me through it. YAY ELI!!!

I'm just in such a great mood. A little tired, but so...happy. and THANKFUL. because for a long time I missed somebody very important to me, and now everything has been worked out because of our obedience. I missed my friend and we're still able to be close. Hmmmm so yes. That's about it, HAPPY EARLY EASTER!

Depressing Post...Sorry....

Seriously, I'm very very angry. I leave for Mexico in 2 days, which I'm so excited about, but I've had this freaking cold for a month! First of all, I'm convinced that I wouldn't have gotten sick if the people around me actually took care of their bodies and took medicine when they were supposed to or went to bed at a normal hour. I've been getting enough sleep and all...taking medicine...gosh I'm just so...ajslkfaklsdfalsfjlkasf. This is just me venting. I've not had a very good day today. It's Tuesday which means I have class at 9...which is very early for me. AND it's math so that sucks even more. I had to go to English....yeah whatever, I used to love English but the teacher I have makes it miserable. She's so picky; if my paper isn't how SHE would write it, it's wrong and a bad paper/poorly written. I've never struggled in writing either so this is just overwhelming. Then I had a conference with my Narration and Description teacher to discuss the short story I wrote, once again, really picky. I got a B on it. I'm sorry, how do you get a B on a short story? Today is just not good. THEN I went to the clinic, because last time I went I got nothing accomplished except a needle in my arm for them to tell me I don't have strep throat...and I paid them to tell me that. Bogus. Anyway, so I wait for like 30 minutes and I get back there for them to tell me the Nurse Practitioner who examined me last time isn't here...therefore I have to make an appointment for tomorrow and OH YEAH she might want you to get blood work again. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHG.
Also I'm struggling with other internal issues that have been nothing but magnified today...well, and yesterday too but whatever.


If you read that, please pray for me. Sorry I didn't have a funny story :(
