Some thought from Becky that should have been posted earlier.

It’s hard to believe we’ve been here three weeks already. It’s been a whirlwind. Yesterday I had the opportunity to go to Chichen Itza, something I never thought I would do. Well, I never thought I would be in Mexico in the first place, but it has been an adventure to say the least. Although the state of Yucatan is about as flat as it could possibly be, with trees more the size of the underbrush in a forest, the streets are crowded with life and color. There is so much to see and do. The 16^th was Mexico’s 199^th birthday. My church had a fiesta and I even participated in a traditional dance. The people have so much energy and celebrate their country’s independence enthusiastically. That energy definitely rubs off on me and makes even homework easier.

We have been very fortunate until this point, health-wise, but a number of members from our group have started getting sick, so if you have the chance, please pray for continued health because it makes life much more enjoyable. Hope classes are going great there too!
