Frisbi Macizo

This week has been such awesome weather! It's been about 70 degrees (22) every day this week. I've gotten to enjoy it a lot. Last night I went to play Ultimate Frisbee with people from work at Riverfront. We didn't even start until about 6pm, but it was light enough. Well, we had a frisbee with a light in it too. It was really nice to get some good exercise, I now know how out of shape I am - I woke up sore this morning just from an hour of ultimate frisbee (for those of you who don't know that game, it's like football, but with a frisbee and you can't run with the frisbee). Michelle (my missionry friend in Honduras) told me that when she was a youth pastor in the States, they used to play ultimate frisbee with like a rotten banana or some other weird thing like that. Sounds cool. Anyhow, it was nice to hang out with people my own age outside of work. Sometimes I feel like I don't do enough with people in my own age group. Pretty much everyone I hung out with before I went off to college either doesn't live here anymore, or has moved on in some way. But I think that God is teaching me to be content in any and all circumstances. I would rather be in Mexico - or any latin american country for that matter - and being here is not really easy, especially when you add support raising to it. But I am learning to be content with being here. To get involved and to get out and DO stuff with other people! It's not that I'm not a social person, but for the past year, I never really wanted to get involved in anything because I'm leaving soon for Mexico, right? Well, now I'm facing the possibility that I may never end up going, or if I do it may still be many months before I go. So I want to not only "make the best of" being here living with my parents, but to ENJOY it!
