So here we are --- 2 weeks into re-entry. The good news is that the girls have gotten a great start to their school year and seem to be settling in amazingly well. There really is no bad news. We have enjoyed some visits with key people in our lives and are looking forward to many more, and we have started to get over our "sticker shock" related to the price of food and gasoline. On the other hand, it still just feels a little weird to be here and to know that we're not going back to Ocosingo in a few weeks.
The most exciting thing that's happened to me today was the receipt of the long-awaited shipment from Amazon. We received our copy of Jim Walker's book, The Dirty Word, and I can hardly wait to read it. Jim is one of the two pastors from the Hot Metal Bridge Faith Community in Pittsburgh. We have loved getting to know them in Mexico, and somehow reading Pastor Jim's words makes me feel close to him, close to our fellow brothers & sisters from Hot Metal Bridge, and close to Mexico where we have worshiped and worked together. More later on the experience, the book, and where God takes us next.
