Just one day away from holiday in Monterrey! Sept. 15th is the famous grito here in Mexico, meaning everyone yells "Viva Mexico!" numerous times while toasting to their independence. 3 friends and I have planned a trip to three different cities towards the heart of Mexico. We'll first stay in Guanajuato for 2 nights, there we hope to see las mumias, some of the famous mines, la alhondiga (location of a famous revolution between Hidalgo and the Spanish) and enjoy the colonial history and architecture. Then we're off to Aguascalientes to the north, a small town with one hostel and some cool sights. Then our final destination, Zacatecas, a famous colonial city thats known for its beauty. The beauty of these cities are that they are small enough that you can walk almost anywhere and we are excited to stay in some pretty cool hostels.
Prayer requests:
-I'm getting over the flu, I'm lacking energy after two busy weeks of exams and presentations
-Direction: I signed up to work with a non-profit Christian organization on weekends that works with children from abusive homes. We have a drop in shelter where we take care of kids from primary up to 15yrs of age. I will be helping with the kids and going on day trips with them to local parks, etc. I will need prayer and guidance.
