Well, we´re down from the mountain villages of Oaxaca… my heart is full from our days with the precious people who live there. But for now, we´re in a hostel in the city and I have a few moments to make some lighter observations from our time there.
- It is not true that roosters crow when the sun is about to rise. Unless your watching Looney Tunes. In truth, roosters crow all night long. Usually right outside your window.
- Outhouses can be much more of a welcome sight than you might have previously imagined.
- Wild dogs are a tad, well wild. They like to bark at all times of the day… and night. There are many in Mexico. When one starts, others usual follow. I like to think of it as a serenade of sorts.
- Lily-white legs look especially lily-white when then are next to Mexican ones.
- A diet that includes lots of beans can make for awkward moments in tight quarters. Enough said.
- A team of people who have been together 24-7 for 9 days can laugh about a lot of pretty silly things.
- Leathery skin and dirty hands can be more beautiful than the cover of any Vogue magazine. Especially when they´re holding the word of God for the first time… ever.
More to come in the days ahead. Thanks for joining me in this journey…
Loved this, and, miss all of you. Wow, so proud of you all too.
Strength & Peace,
Peggy
Wow! Your observations are hilarious Shannon and the last one is so beautiful! Come home safely! Cannot wait to hear more about your adventures!
Shannan, It’s my first time on your blog site. Your writing is a beautiful gift from God and I can see you use it for His glory. I’m hocked! It was a privilege to serve with you in Oaxaca and I will cherish the memory, sister.
