Amy &amp; I were able to share in a missions conference in Lake City, Florida. I had an awesome time meeting new people &amp; sharing about Mexico! I was also able to visit the New Tribes USA Home Office and see all the people that are need to keep a mission organization running \u2013 close to 200 missionaries! It was also nice to see that Amy &amp; I are on thinking the same way about Mexico as we are getting ready to go! We were also able to put on a Mexican Fiesta for the Youth Group that Amy&#8217;s involved in! And I was able to see the Atlantic Ocean, but no gators (I think it is a tourist trap!)<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"boldText-red\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><!--more--><br \/>\nMissouri Vacation<\/span><\/span><br \/>\nMy two weeks in Missouri was great because I was able to see four of my old roommates &amp; their families, visit with staff, &amp; encourage students getting ready for Partnership Development (after training before you get to your country). It was a nice vacation &amp; very relaxing. I was also able to ask two missionaries from Mexico questions about life down there &amp; especially life as a single woman, it was very encouraging &amp; helpful!<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"boldText-red\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Do you have a job, right now?<\/span><\/span><br \/>\nYes &amp; no. Right now a lot people think that I need to be working at a \u201cjob,\u201d but this is my Partnership Development time \u2013 I&#8217;m \u201cworking\u201d on raising support (raising prayer, financial, &amp; encouragement support) to go to Mexico! So that is my \u201cjob\u201d! But currently I&#8217;m filling in temporarily at the prison in Baker. Some of you may remember that this is the job that I had before I left Oregon &amp; entered the training with New Tribes. I&#8217;ll be working at the prison until the end of January! Which will be great, because I won&#8217;t be going crazy at home &amp; I&#8217;ll be able to save some more money for moving to Mexico!<\/p>\n<p><em><span class=\"redText\">***Poinsettia Fact: Poinsettia plants<\/span><\/em><span class=\"redText\"><em> are native to Mexico!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"boldText-blue\">Luke 2.10-11<\/span> \u2013 Don&#8217;t be \u201c afraid!\u201d he said.\u00a0 \u201cI bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s happened in the last few weeks in my life???<br \/>Well you ask, and here it is&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":383,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3810],"tags":[753,751,152,752],"class_list":{"0":"post-15","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-news-article","7":"tag-florida","8":"tag-mexico","9":"tag-partnership-development","10":"tag-support-level","11":"entry"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/crystal-pierce\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/crystal-pierce\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/crystal-pierce\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/crystal-pierce\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/383"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/crystal-pierce\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/crystal-pierce\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/crystal-pierce\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/crystal-pierce\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/crystal-pierce\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
