Angelina's Life in Motion

I'm glad to be writing this from my house in Lima!! I've been home almost a week now. Well, the last week in Puebla I spent housesitting for some friends. They have a nice big home in Cholula, Mexico. One night I had two friends over and we played Hide and Seek in the dark. It was fun. My biggest adventure during the last 2 weeks was my traveling day. I tend to have interesting travel days. Well, anyways, I was sleeping at my friends house the night before I was to leave. Someone was coming to the house at 5:00 to pick me up and take me to the bus station. So, I set the alarm for 4 and went to sleep. Well, I was awakened by the sound of the telephone. It was the person waiting outside for me. It was 5:00. So, in 10 minutes I got up, packed up my things and left. Of course I was carrying my shoes, socks and coat to put on on the way. So, I was on my way out the door, which automatically locks when you close it and the corner of my coat got stuck in the door, but the door was already locked. I had no way of getting back in the house. So, I tugged a few times, but was frantically trying to still make the 5:30 bus. SO, I just decided to leave it. I thought it'd be a funny sight for the family to come home to and it was. So, I just left the coat there. I did however lose my socks somewhere between the house and the van. They haven't turned up yet. ??? Fortunately I made it to the bus station on time. Later, in the HOuston airport I had to run to catch my 2nd flight because it took an extremely long time to go through customs. Also, for the first time the customs officers, at 2 different checkpoints, questioned me about what I was doing in Mexico and why I was there so long. That made me a little nervous. Well, eventually I made it home to Lima.
God has been good. He provided me with a summer job and the opportunity to spend time in fellowship with believers at church and Bible study. I am really looking forward to hearing the Bible taught in English for the summer.
For those of you that don't know, I'm going back to Mexico on Monday with the team that is going. We'll be doing some work on the school where I teach. We just found out that all our support money is in. We're getting very excited about the trip. So, please keep us in prayer (the team from Chi-Alpha) as we take this mission trip. We expect God to do great things in our lives through this! Have a great week. I'll write again after we get back from our trip!
