Mexico Memories....

I have just finished reading Laurie's journals from the time she spent in Queretaro. She journaled almost every day she was there, 294 days. She numbered each day, beside the date.
I am so thankful for all her journals but these are so amazing. She pours out her heart to God in amazing and sometimes gut-wrenching ways. The depth of her faith, her trust in God, her desire to help the lost, her prayers for so many there and at home, her anxiety about what to do when she returned to the US...

Still do not know why I did it, but while she was there, whenever we emailed or IM'd, I made hard copies and kept them in a binder. Those emails, coupled with the journals and her many, many pictures, create such a vivid portrayal of what her time as a missionary in Mexico meant to her. What a great gift for me to have.
