Comparison is the Theif of Joy

I am leaving Mexico in about a week.
I realized this when I was sitting on my roomies bed eating a nature valley peanut bar. I have only been here for...well less than 3 months, but it truely feels like I have been here for (some amount of time longer than that) I have mixed feelings about leaving. I was praying/talking through staying with Eddie and Maggie, the director and His wife who I sadly dont think I have mentioned yet, and I decided I needed to decide for myself.
My ear is ringing.
I think that to often I get all flustered about "what does God want me to do in this situation" when He is not making it clear...but sometimes I think that he is sitting back and waiting for us to put our free will into practice. If I stayed here through till December, I would grow and learn more no doubt. If I went home, I would be faced with challenges, also growing and learning there. Coming to the win win scenario conclusion, I chose home. I need to fix up some damage I made there.
I will hopefully be attending EBC. whoo whoo. I dont know why I typed that...am I excited for hours of studying? well...yes

So Cornerstone was here last week. They were here with two other groups which added to the largest group we had ever. That is what the summers usually look like. Building ever day with 70 high schoolers running around...and yelling. It was the best week of the summer. I dont know if it was just my group being there, or the combination of a lot of things.
One of the nights I took them to Rene's. This is the greatest taco place, ever. It is owned by Rene's mom and dad, while Rene cooks outside with his friend. Best adobada burrito and cheeseburgers. We think we do it right in the states, oh no. After we were done leaving and getting ready to head home, Rene handed us a large cake. [to preface, this was my theird time at Rene's that week. There is a Bible school were friends with up the street. Yes I just made an excuse] So he just gives us the pan dulce, for free, as a gift. What the devil! It was amazing. Not just the pan dulce, but the fact that He just gave us a cake. When would that happen in the US. Yea, never.
I should take this time to blog about my friend on staff Andew (spo). Today he build an addition house to where I built my first day. So if you are an avid reader of this blog you would remember Brenda. When they were saying goodbye after the build, Brenda attempted to kiss Andrew. I know, my high innocent view of both of them is lost. That is how I will finish this blog.

I had so much to say...and now this has become my shortest entry. Whatevs
