my roomies!!!!!!!


me, hope, and caroline....

these are my roomies for the next year. I have met both of them on previous trips to monterrey. Hope is a teacher for Sierra Madre Christian Acadamy here at the property and Caroline is from Florida and is here doing the same STINT program as me.

i am so excited to see what the Lord has in store for us this coming year. the best thing is that we know the LORD has ordained this year for all 3 of us girls to be here and to be living together. We are having so much fun already in knowing that there are big things ahead that ONLY GOD CAN DO. please be praying for us as we get settled into our routine of being STINT and Teacher STAFF.

we appreciate all your prayers and support. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!

MY APARTMENT

WELCOME TO MI CASA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ENJOY THE TOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!




LIVING ROOM. this is what you see right when you open the door.

decorating soon to come.






this is our super cute kitchen. with a oven knob that only has the numbers 1,2,3,4,5 on it. so if anyone knows what that means... it would be great if you could share that information with us.




this is my side of the bedroom. the shelves were a complete surprise. i think they found out me and my roomate were going to build our own shelves and got worried so they bought us some, put them together, and had them up and ready for when we got here. SO EXCITING.







this is our sweet bathroom. not only do i get to look outside and see the beautiful mountains. i can just look in our bathroom and see them. ha.


(Left) a little fun bookshelf for us......











this is my roommate caroline burns for the next year. i am so blessed to have her in my life and we are already having a blast. we are obsessed with our drinks from the states. you know i had to bring a case of dr. pepper with me.


thought you all might want to see some pictures of where i was staying so.. there you go.

OFFICIALLY IN MEXICO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been on a crazy journey since January. Fundraising, preparing, and LOTS of prayer. I am FINALLY living in Mexico. I arrived 5 hours ago and am officially moved in. I am so excited for this new and exciting adventure. Mexico has been a huge part of my life for so long now, the fact that i am living here brings warmth to my heart and a huge smile on my face.
God is already doing so much. There has been so much confirmation that this is where i am supposed to be for this next year. I am forever grateful to the people that are behind me supporting me every step of the way. THERE IS NO WAY I COULD DO IT WITHOUT YOU!!! thank you for your continuous prayers, thoughts, and support.

Right now, i am so excited just to be here. I will be posting stuff all the time so please feel free to come along this part of my life with me. Prayer requests would be.... Transitioning and to have an open heart. Also that the Lord would just use me in unreal ways.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR ME TO CREATE THIS. THE TIME IS FINALLY HERE AND I AM PRAISING GOD EVERY STEP OF THE WAY!!!!!!!!
