Like a Fresh Breeze

So I'm back, and its been great. Summer had been taking care of my studies so it was nice that when I returned they were already scheduled for me to study with them. My youngest study, Suemi, had us stay after the study so we could eat with her family. It was very good, and her mother told us that we are welcome to eat there whenever we wanted, it was our home too she said. My other study Claudia now moved into her own salon and when I went to study with her 2 of her sisters were there along with her co-worker. After we read the first paragraph and I asked the question she translated it to spanish and all the girls were thinking about their answer. It was so interactive and enjoyable, they all were thinking about the subject matter and commenting. It was unexpected to be studying with 3 different women (2 in spanish) but great nonetheless. My other study Victoria is progressing quite well. We just went over 1914 and she grasped it and was impressed that the Bible even had those calculations in it. I am still working with all my studies to try and get them to the meetings, but it will be well worth the effort when they do finally come. Actually, Summer and I will be having Claudia over for some good association and American food that she missed, fried chicken and mashed potatoes. It should be a good time. Actually, when I first got back I was surprised how hot it was. The sun here is just so intense and strong, it burns you quite quickly. But as soon as you get in the shade the freshest breeze you've ever felt in your life refreshes you and you forget you were ever hot in the first place. It kind of reminds me of any difficulty or challenge of living here in Mexico. Its like that hot sun that burns for a minute, but then that crisp mountain breeze refreshes you, all the good things of being here--the service, the friends, the good experiences, the beauty of the land, the beauty of the organization---and you forget that you were ever hot. Its just like that in fact :)
