December...

Hey Friends,
I have not done a good job with keeping up with this. I am going home to Argentina in two days, I am so excited! Still a little melancholic (sp?) from leaving Mexico, I have had a great time here and my love for the city and the people has grown a lot... So, it is bitter-sweet.
One thing I have learned lately is that I have a long way to go until I can consider myself as a cross-cultured person. I am so quick to judge without knowing the circumstances of the person! I pray I can be open to others and not misjudge them for where they come from or what they do. There is a past behind everyone and I want to be sensitive to that.
At the same time, I have been in the foreigner's shoes before. It is amazing because it is awful when others do it to you. But in that case, I want to be a peacemaker and not choose to get mad or get offended. We are all sinners and judging others is a sin, and that's not to excuse it, but yes to forgive it. I pray for all of us who see this and for all of those who don't.
Just some thoughts from a nobody who needs Somebody who can save anybody. I am glad I know Him.
