I'm Tired and 40

Well, today was the day that I mark the years of my pilgrimage at 40. It's funny, I don't feel 40 (kind of reminds me of Spicolli in the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High where he says, "I don't feel tardy"). I don't think I look 40 and I certainly don't act 40. There are pros and cons to each of the three.

Maybe I began to feel 40 by the time I got home tonight. I've probably put in about 70 or so hours this week since we've had 4 teams down to the base and it's our busiest week of the Summer Short-term Missions Season. I can honestly say as I get ready to retire (for the evening) that I feel 40 (but I still don't look it or act like it).

What did we do today? Something like this:

7:30am - Meet to go over the day's schedule, pray for the teams (and for energy)
8:00am - Breakfast with Highpoint Church
9:15am - Head to Casa Hogar Orphanage for some Soccer, Basketball and hugs with lots of adorable little Mexican children
12:00pm - Head to downtown Monterrey to allow the team to go shopping, had lunch and a great talk with Jon Ross (one of our staff members here in Monterrey).
2:30pm - Meet with team and head to the Quinta (our base's summer home that has a pool)
3:30pm - Testimony Service with the team and swimming. God did some amazing things this week.
5:45pm - Head back to the base.
7:30pm - Meet with team to do DTS, SOS and Language School Promotionals.
8:00pm - Head out for Tacos at Tacos Fede
10:00pm - Head home and go to bed

See why I'm tired?

Thank you God for bringing me this far and for the wonders you've given me the priviledge to witness. You are awesome and amazing!!!
