Texas already looks beautiful, from the pictures I've seen. I mean, I've been through Texas. I've been to Texas. Several times. But I've always been too young, or there for too short of a time to actually notice the people there. Or the beauty of the people there. The latter seven of the first ten days of July, I'll be there. Soaking up the beauty of the Lord's creations.
I've decided to disconnect myself from my wireless demon, and other electronic devices for the whole trip. I feel like I owe Jesus that. I owe my fellow missionaries that. I owe the kids in Texas that. Nothing but straight conversation. Nothing but showing love, and being loved. By my Savior, by small Mexican children, and my teammates.
The neighborhood we'll be working in is pretty run down. Lots of work to be done. Honestly, I'd rather work on the houses every afternoon than go to some water park. Or some amusement park. I'm kind of scared to share that idea with everyone though, for their intentions may not be in the same place as mine. And I definitely want people to be happy. Because that's what it's about, right? If you didn't sense the sarcasm in the last sentence, then now you did. Because you just read that.
I love the fact that we're getting the chance to show Jesus to these kids.
