A note from Rebecca

Hey everybody!
I would have written on here sooner except, as Marcy said, there are many eager people on our team. :)
Last night we went to Bosques for their evening church service. I was happy to see that there were more people there than last year. We came in as they were finishing up singing, and Pastor David gave us the floor. I was the first to go up. I had been kicking around the idea of sharing, but I knew if would be so hard for me to actually get up and do it. I'm so glad I did, though! I only shared a bit of my testimony (it wasn't long). But in the Mexican culture, when they meet other believers, it;s just something they do. They want to hear about how you became a child of God. They want to rejoice with you. There are no other motives. And they'll listen for as long as you want to talk. I love that the church always says "Amen" after someone speaks. It's encouraging to hear that.
I love Mexican culture so much! It seems like people rarely have culture shock when they come here (at least, I know I didn't) because this is the kind of culture that human nature falls into more easily. It's hardworking (it feels nice to be doing something!) yet relaxed at the same time. Everyone says what's on their mind, and what they say, they mean. America is so good at hiding this.
I have been learning quite a bit on his trip. I think that the biggest thing is that I've been listening for God. I have this peace that wasn't there before, but it's so nice to have.
There's so much more that I want to say, but I have to leave for Revolucion now! Ah! Hopefully I'l get the chance to blog later. But really, you never know how time's going to go in Mexico.
Love you all!
