It's Summer!!

So I know that it has been a while since GS Puebla has updated everyone, but here is the scoop on what's been going the past 2 months...

END OF THE YEAR

We finished another great semester with our annual End of the Year Banquet.  It was  night full of great food, remembrance, laughter, superlatives, a visit by spandex man and good-byes!  

We had 10 students graduate moving on to bigger adventures. 

We said good-bye and thank you to our amazing intern Harold who gave so much of his time and heart to the ministry of El Pozo.  

We also said good-bye to our dear teammate Sarah who is going back to school to finish her seminary degree.

And we temporarily said good-bye to our team leaders Nathan and Erin McDade who are now officially on furlough until December!

It was so wonderful to see all these students gather together in fellowship.  It's amazing to see God's love pour through them as they interact, support, comfort, laugh, and cry with one another.  

MONTH OF MAY

Celebration : 

Our semester ended a bit earlier than usual because all the staff headed back to the US (except the Stryker's who were very pregnant) for the annual GloabalScope Celebration in Tybee Island, Georgia.  Celebration is a week where all the GS ministries come together for a week to share, brainstorm, and relax.  This was my first Celebration and it was a truly amazing time.  I am still astonished everyday how similar ALL college students are no matter where you live.  They truly are struggling and dealing with the same stuff.  I also got to meet and hang out with lots of really cool people who I have heard about for years!  I was able to learn so much through this one week spent at the beach in Georgia.

Golf Tournament: 

This year we had our annual El Pozo Golf Tournament at the end of May and it was one of the biggest we have ever had.  We even had one team dress in costume/uniform this year.  Our tournament is growing more and more each year and I think is becoming more fun.  It is even great for those who may not be the greatest golfers because yes there is a prize for last place.  And you better bring some strong competition for this prize because Heath and I pretty much have it sealed up each year.  Heath has won this prize for the last 3 years!!  All in all it was a great day of golf, food, fellowship, and praise for God and His amazing love and provision.

SUMER HAS BEGUN...

This year we decided that since we are now 3 years old and have a solid presence on the campus of UDLA that we would actually have events.  So every Tuesday we have dinner and a time of fun just hanging out.  We've done things from going to a movie to playing Rock Band to having a ping pong tournament.  We even have a few small groups going on this summer.  I've only been back in Mexico for 3 weeks, but it's cool to see the campus house filled with people each Tuesday when the town is essentially empty.

Stayed tune for more happenings of the summer...

Thanks for all your support and prayers.

Much Love,
