Mazatlan, Mexico
Last week I had the privilege of visiting Mazatlan. I went in order to prepare for the projects I get to do there this summer. Last summer I was the Ministry Coordinator for an International World Changers project in Kampala. This year I get to be the Project Coordinator for 2 projects in Mazatlan. It was so fun to be back in a world of other languages. I forget how mono-lingual America is. Sure, I occasionally hear some Spanish, but not all that often. For three full days I got to hear and speak lots of Spanish. I was excited to be able to speak it. I was afraid I had forgotten so much. I haven't spoken it in a while...teaching Spanish 1 doesn't give me much practice. I spend too much time teaching stinking English!
It was a very busy trip. I arrived Thursday at about noon and left Sunday morning around 11:00. It was quite a whilwind, but very productive. I am looking forward to working there this summer.

My favorite part about Mazatlan is the boardwalk... running/walking at night in old Mazatlan! I saw the IWC trip there and said, "I wonder who gets to coordinate this job?! What a great job!"- Now I know! Enjoy :)
