Hola from Puebla, Mexico. I thank all of you for your prayers while I was traveling. Everything went smoothly during my flights and I am glad to be back. I had a not-so nice "Welcome Back" greeting in Mexico City though. First of all, when I went through immigration, the lady only gave me a 30-day VISA. Usually you get 90 days, and other people on my flight were getting the usual 90 days, but for some reason, the lady just felt like giving me 30. That means that after 30 days, I have to get my Visa renewed here in Puebla, but the normal renewal is 90 days, since that's what you usually have to start with, so there could be a complication because you are only allowed one renewal. If I can't get it renewed for 120 days, then I'll have to take a trip to the border, go across and re-enter to get a new VISA. So, we'll see what happens with it. Then, I got randomnly selected to be stopped and searched going through customs in Mexico City. They had to open up and check my suitcases. So, my first 30 minutes in Mexico were not very welcoming. However, it is good to back to Puebla. I'm almost ready for school tomorrow. I'm looking forward to what God is going to teach me about teaching over the rest of this school year. I was challenged while home at LBT to put more into the ministry God has called me to, so I'm looking forward to that. For those of you who may not have heard, I am planning to return a 2nd year to PCS. I have felt God's leading in several ways. Please, pray with me again that God will provide the finances needed for a second year. God did exceedingly above what I could ask or think this summer and I know He is able to do it again. The church continues to have an account for me for people to give through the offering. Thank you for your encouragement and support. I look forward to hearing from many of you over these next few months. Please don't hesitate to drop me an e-mail or letter. I'd love to hear from you. Tienen una bonita semana! (Have a great week!) Angelina
