First Update.....Finally!


















Hi! So. This is my first official update from Juarez, Mexico! I am very excited to be here, and have already seen blessings from God in the things that I have been doing and learning. You may be asking yourself, "What is Cynthia doing in Juarez, Mexico?" For those of you who don't know, I am in training to do Christian missionary work not only in Mexico, but in other countries as well. Everyday, I join seven other American students in taking classes, eating meals together, doing clean-up duties, and meeting people through activities in the Juarez community. My team consists of five girls and two guys, as well as four team leaders who are on staff here. The picture above is of me with a girl from the country of Germany! Her name is Erena, and she came for a couple weeks to visit some friends who work here. The YWAM base here (just in case you didn't know: YWAM stands for Youth With A Mission) receives church groups from all over the U.S. to do various community projects in Juarez, Mexico. In October, for instance, we will be hosting a medical outreach, so that teams of trained U.S. medics can come to provide health services for Mexicans in Juarez. All in all, I have a lot of peace that I am exactly where I'm supposed to be! Check back again for updates and more pictures.


Salmo 25:4,5
Muéstrame, Señor, tus caminos, enséñame tus senderos. Guíame por el camino de tu fidelidad; enséñame, porque tú eres mi Dios y mi salvador, y yo espero en ti todo el día.

Psalm 25:4,5
Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.

Yay! I hope you'll get a chance to update often.

I'm so glad to hear that you have peace about where you are. Are there any specific prayer requests you have?
