Viviendo en Mexico

So I have moved on to the next phase of my life...my last optometry rotation...in Silao, Guanajuato, Mexico. I still have very limited internet access, just like the previous 6 months, so this might be my only post for a while again. I am living with a Christian family here, and they take wonderful care of me. They feed me, house me, do my laundry. They speak next to no English (entirely non-conversational), and I speak very limited Spanish, so it's very trying. But the idea was for me to get much better at Spanish, so hopefully that works out well. I have seven weeks left. God has been humbling me greatly with this family's generosity and reliance upon God. I have come to recognize how faithless I am in everyday life. Which has led to God doing great things in increasing my faith! I praise Him for that, and trust that He will continue to do great things in me. It's as if I can hear Him say to me,

"I have brought you out of the land of Egypt, will I not also provide (...) and care for you now?"
