the future ...

Pretty much from the day I arrived in Mexico, the following thought has been running through my head constantly: ¨What am I going to do next year???¨ To be honest, it has probably been way to much of a preoccupation of mine throughout the past year. but I can FINALLY say that i know the answer to that question. Not figuring it out until 3 weeks before leaving Mexico has created a bit of stress in my life, but I am happy to say that stress is now gone, and I can breathe a sigh of relief for that.

SO....starting September 27, I will be participating in Mennonite Voluntary Service (MVS). I will live in (of all places...) Kansas. ha! The Kansas City MVS Unit will be my new home for the next year, and I will work under Catholic Charities in the Refugee and Migrant Services department. From my (limited) understanding, I will be working mostly with refugees from SouthEast Asia and Africa, assisting them to achieve self-sufficiency in the U.S.

I guess that´s enough said on that. Just thought I would let you all know what the next steps were for me. I´m excited to spend some time at home and visiting family and friends before this new adventure begins. I can´t believe my ¨learning adventures in mexico¨ are so quickly coming to an end....
