but i didn't even drink the water
despite my best efforts to remain healthy i think mexico has gotten the best of me. i can't say i have ever felt this way before. my stomach keeps telling me that i am hungry but anything and everything i put down there gets rejected in the worst way. i haven't had a good night's rest since i've been back because even my dreams are about being sick. but other than being dehydrated and not getting to eat solid foods i had an incredible time in juarez, mexico last week.
our group put up three houses in four days with time to spare. it was pretty easy this year. too easy. in fact, my site finish several hours a head of the other groups so we had to think up some pretty cool games to pass time which involved throwing rocks and my shoes.
we had a few interruptions by some dust storms this year but i was pretty well acclimated to them after spending some time in west texas and new mexico. you know they say that the reason asians have such narrow eyes is because over time their top eye lid grew bigger to help protect their eyes from harsh dusty environments. so i've heard.
i got to hang with some pretty cool kids last week. played battleship with kristy brown, taught a pottery class with kate semmelbeck, and shook it like a polaroid with craig cannon. i got to lead worship again this year and it was encouraging to see how much the kids really got into it. now matter how much blood, sweat, and tears you put into this youth ministry stuff, i am slowly starting to realize why brent says he hopes to be doing this the rest of his life.
it's was truly an incredible week.
