From the teddy bear...

In the first part of the trip, I spent time in Texas with Sharon who gave me this nickname. I spent the first day in Mexico working with Dan Fly and Jay Lewis on a truck. It was a learning experience for all of us. Things go much slower here than I'm used to in St. Louis. Those who know me know I like to go fast. All in all, things are great. The team is really coming together. My Spanish is improving, and I'm dredging through. Even though I'm in over my head, I'm trying to speak with everyone. I really missed my family yesterday on Father's Day. The team pulled me through. Continue prayer for us and my self and my family.

P.S. We're playing four-square every night. It's been great, and our skills are really improving.

Hi! It's Emily.

Anna, good job for getting out of your comfort zone the other day. I love you!

Hi Elli, and Marybeth, and Steve, and Jack. I still say "booty", although "spiffy" has mostly replaced "the bomb". Haha.

Bye!
