What A Vacation!!!!
I am not even going to attempt to recap all that has gone before. I'll just start with the most recent events.
In the beginning of July, I went home to spend time with my family. It was wonderful to see many of you as well as just spend some time relaxing with my parents and brothers and sisters.
The very next day after I returned home from visiting with my family all the leaders left for our week retreat to the beach at San Carlos in the state of Sonora. I have never really gone to the beach before, so I was like an excited child. I scampered all around picking up a ton of sea shells. Leydi got tired of saying "oh how pretty" as I collected a jillion!!!! We went to a resort hotel and because they only have 150 rooms in operation as they are in the process of restoration we got a great deal. It had a huge pool, a horse ranch, and free snorkeling and kayaking. I enjoyed snorkeling so much. There were so many beautiful fish and even the rocks were beautiful!!!:) We rented four-wheelers and rode all along the beach. Leydi said she had never seen me so crazy as when I was driving the four-wheeler!!! We also went sailing, hiking, and exploring in the nearby town of Guaymas. I put on tons and tons of sunblock, but still managed to get burned. I am now the red gringa!
Anyway we returned on Sunday and have started back into our work. I was so glad to see my "babies" and happy to return to my schedule of work and being with them.
Wednesday and Thursday I took Joseylin for more exams to get into college. It is such a big deal to get into college here. It takes so much time, energy, and paperwork. She is due to start in August.
Anyway it is time to get back to work. I'll write more later.

Ok, yes I admit that getting into college in the states does take all that, but here in Mexico you have to take several blood tests, get a complete physical from a doctor, do situps and all kinds of other exercises, and to, I suppose, test your running capabilites run around a track several times. To me that just all seems very weird. Are they trying to keep the fat people out or something?
