I'm Back!

I'm alive. Barely, but I'm alive. It was a great trip. Thirty people went; it was an awesome group. We had absolutely no people problems; however, we were not so lucky in other areas. We had some weather problems (rain, not heat), construction problems, and lots of illness problems. Lots of illness problems. Most of them from me, but that's another story. Even with our many problems, because we had no people issues, we can all look back and say it was a great trip. As I was telling 2 ladies at church today (one had gone, one had not), if we had had people problems, the trip would have been absolutely horrible. The lady who hadn't gone said, "Oh, such wisdom for someone so young!" I told her that it wasn't really wisdom, but experience. On my first trip to Rio Bravo, Mexico, we had no construction problems, no illness problems, and the only weather problem we had was heat, which we had expected. However, because we had people problems, the trip, at least the end of it, was like being in a living nightmare.

It was a great trip. We had amazing opportunities to touch a lot of peoples' lives. We were incredibly touched as well.
I've been working on a list of stories to write.
Here are just a few:
When in Mexico, Drive Like the Mexicans Drive
Ailments & Illnesses (a very, very long story)
Quiet House
Rio Bravo
Soriana
Travel
Construction
Music
Our Families
Boys Are Obnoxious
Newspapers
Shooting the Breeze
People
They won't be necessarily in that order, or be limited to just those stories. I'll think of more, I'm sure.

I'm just glad to be back alive!
