Before I go...

There are so many things that have been going on since I've arrived home from Europe. First off I had a surgery that had me without work, and without mobility for near a month. The Surgery was on my shoulder from a bike accident I had near five months ago now. So its not anything life threatening (thank you Jesus).



Also, I have (since my shoulder has healed) returned to work and began saving up my money to head out once again out of the States; this time to Mexico. I will be living in Playa Del Carmen, which is a resort city outside of Cancun. I'll be right near the Mayan temple ruins (where the apocalyptic calender is that everyone has been talking about recently). I will be living within two hours of Belize, El Salvador, and Guatemala. Maybe I will be able to road trip down to South America while I am living down there. Many different types of people live in Playa Del Carmen, from countries all over the world. So thank you Jesus, I will be able to touch the whole world from this spot! I will be getting my own place shortly after I move down there, and I hope a bunch of my friends come down to visit me.


Moving to Mexico has been a consuming thought. I have no idea what to expect. I've only been to Mexico once with some friends, but even this is different for Mexico. I'm excited to learn Spanish well, but on the other side I hope I don't feel like an outsider the whole time I'm learning how to speak fluently. I remember in Europe feeling sort of like a loner in the midst of friends, because of language and cultural differences. I don't fear those things, but I feel like maybe they are some of the more negative unavoidables. Also, I'm such a social guy, its going to be funny restarting from scratch, but that's okay! I'm sure I'm going to meet a lot of crazy Jesus people, man I love those kinds of people. Mexico is a consuming thought even for the fact that it is a foreign country...and I'm moving there! haha, lots of adventures await me.



(Me being social)



I finally returned back to my job two weeks ago after healing, and have been trying to get as many hours as possible before I leave so I have some financial padding to hit the floor with.

Playa is supposed to have the world's number two most beautiful beach, and that is great for me! Beaches are my element, and I will be 45 minutes from Cozumel which is the worlds capital of diving. Reefs, beautiful discoveries, exotic fish, and waves to surf. Even with all of those cool things, its nothing if the Lord isn't with me. Sometimes I feel pretty randomized, as if I am just randomly choosing to go to this place or that. But the Lord reminds me that yeah dude, He is leading me, and gives me so many different confirmations, the Lord knows my heart, that I'm anxious sometimes, but I'm anxious to do His will, hear His voice. haha silly me, why by anxious?
