Sayounara TIU, Hola Mexico!

I said goodbye to my Tokyo International University students on the 9th, as they left for their final Grand Canyon trip before returning back to Japan. It was really hard and sad saying goodbye. But hopefully we will meet again! I'm so glad I got to be their counsellor even if it was for just a short time. I'm sure I learned a lot more from them than they learned from me.. ganbatte, friends.

Here are all my pictures of me and the TIU students

Then that afternoon, after lunch with Taro and Heyoung, I packed up and headed off to Nogales, Mexico, for our spring break mission trip! It was so great!! I learned a lot and feel like I got to know all my friends so much better. I would love to write out all that happened and all my thoughts but I really can't...I need to get cracking on my end-of-semester school stuff. You can go to Krista's blog and read a lot about all that happened. Yes I got left behind at a restauratnt. :P I actually found it pretty entertaining, and like Krista said, God totally provided for my protection. All in all it was just awesome, probably the most fun I've had in a long time, as you can tell from the pictures and videos

Here's my pictures from Mexico

...and Mary, Masashi, Naoko, and Saori are coming to Tucson this Wednesday! cho cho tanoshimi!!
