I was up really late last night studying for a mid-term that I had today... but other than that today was a pretty typical school day. I have, however, made a few discoveries in the last couple days...
1. the market, besides the food, is basically like a giant garage sale. and I really like garage sales. this is actually a very dangerous discovery, but also quite fun.
2. I think I have officially adapted to the Mexican eating schedule because I pulled out a tortilla and some stuff to put in it last night at about midnight. I also just really needed to go grocery shopping and didn't have anything else to eat.
3. I changed the power setting on my computer and it's working much better! never mind the fact that it runs really slow - at least it stays on!
4. to say "that's cool!" in Spanish, you say "Que padre!". they must have been thinking of my dad when they made that up. ;)
And, one of my most important discoveries as of late...
Change is one of God's ways of keeping me close to Him and trusting. I wish I could say I can always count it as a blessing... I don't. But I know that when things are unsettled, I often look to Him more. I'm praying that I can learn to maintain that same trust and confidence in HIM even when things are "normal".
Thanks for your prayers!

p.s. i think you need to get one of those little mopeds instead of riding the combi or whatever it's called... especially since you won't have to worry about any muddy fields, right? ;)
ANNA BAHLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I haven't talked to you in FOREVER! I'm glad that you like the blog. :) Unfortunately, I don't think I'm going to make it to Ixtlan - which I'm super bummed about, but such is life. It's a REALLY long ways away - like it would probably take 12 hours to get there by bus. :( But thanks for your many prayers! AND I'm all for getting a moped - but I would need you here to help me figure out how to drive it! :)
much, much love!

ok, just so you know - I just looked back at this and saw "anna" at the top and I was like, what on earth, why did Google leave the H's off my name? and then I realized it was you. :)
