36 Hours in Mexico City



I just wanted to share this wonderful article about Mexico City with you all. My sister Jess sent it to me. I know that what you may hear in the news about Mexico can be frightening. So, here is a very positive take on the city that I have come to love. Enjoy!

Two Months In!

Greeting from Mexico!!!

I now have been in Mexico for two months.
The time is going by quickly.  October just flew by. I am developing  great relationships and learning new things everyday. My relationship with Bishop Carlos is really blossoming. Through our work together I am learning so much about the Anglican Communion, Mexican culture, and how we are all connected. Every conversation with him no matter how big or small something new is revealed to me. I am growing in so many ways. I of course have my growing-pains but that is to be expected; I take it all in stride.

 I went to the downtown Cathedral on the 24th of October. It was amazing to be in this 400 year old church. It was originally a Roman Catholic Church in the 1600's and then the Mexican Government gave it to the Anglicans in 1869. It is the oldest Anglican Church in the Americas. I could feel the history that had happened in-between those walls the minute I stepped in. It was a wonderful experience.
