Hola todos. I first just want to say that Mexico City (D.F.) is gorgeous. Yesterday we took a tour bus around the city and saw most of the sites. We also got to witness Mexican soldiers taking down a huge flag they have in the middle of what would be like their Congress building. The director and I got lucky and picked a spot that put us about two feet away from the soldiers and the Military Police. I got a great video of it, and plan on uploading it to the blog as soon as possible.
During the tour yesterday, I starting thinking really hard about STINT; which is a Campus Crusade position that would have me in Mexico for a year. One of the things I´d like figure out this summer is if STINT is a serious possiblity for me that I would want to consider after graduating. D.F. romanced me a little yesterday with that tour. However, the food has not been to kind to me the past 16 hours. Since dinner last night I´ve been fighting a fever and my body has been flushing out my digestive system. I´m about 99% certain I know how I got the food poisoning, and will just advise everyone that if you come to D.F. do NOT put a street venders vegetables on your taco. I am the first one in the group to get sick, and hopefully the last. It has not been fun being the first person getting seriously sick on the trip. I had to miss out on our outreach today; however, with that time I was able to break my fever and plan on being active again tonight.
On a lighter note, when I finished on the computer at the internet café - after posting the other day - I had one of the employees come up to me and asked what we were doing in D.F. and how long we were staying. It was great because she has some friends who she wants us to meet, and seemed to be interested in starting a Bible study/Crusade movement on her campus; which wasn´t a campus we were orignially going to visit. She and the owner of the internet café were very interested in what we are doing and have offered to help in any way possible. Talk about a blessing.
Keep praying for the students here in Mexico, and that our team would obey God´s every command to best glorify Him - and I guess our health too.
Regardos,
Caballero

WHOA! That is awesome to hear - STINT and the lady in the Internet café.
Oh, and, in case you've never heard this one either, don't drink the water. ;P
Hola Caballero,
¿Cómo se siente usted hoy? I hope that you have recovered from your sickness. You now know the meaning of the phrase "Montezuma's revenge". Mom and I are pleased to hear that the trip has been rewarding. Stay save and have a great time.
Love you,
Su Padre
PS - I you get this message as one of three its because I am still trying to figure out how to send messages using your blog. It's difficult for us "old dogs" to learn new tricks.
