A LOT of people live on the Back2Back property here in Monterrey, Mexico.  There are currently 34 teens in the Hope Program, 30 or so staff kids, and about 30 staff including myself.  A prize goes to the first person who can find waldo (me) in this photo.  
Salsa dancing anyone?  For the record- i'm a horrible salsa dancer but i'm getting better- honest i am!  my goal is to be able to dance 4 different kinds of salsa by christmas.  so far, i've got about 2 halfway mastered.  We had a really fun time dancing this night thanks to the boys.  They teach us the dances and even got us roses from the bathroom- yes that sounds silly but thats where they got them. 
Happy Independence Day Mexico!  VIVA MEXICO!!  One of Mexico's several independence days was last week and a bunch of went to a super cute city south of us called Santiago to celebrate and join in the grito.  At midnight, everyone yells "viva mexico" to celebrate the day.  Well.... apparently in Santiago they yelled at 11 pm and we missed it but had a great time anyway with this random lady who jumped in our photo.  and we did get there in time to see the fireworks.  
From left to right: Kenzi, Jay, Becca and myself - The 2008-2009 Back2Back STINT Academy.  It's not really an academy but that makes it sound more fun doesnt it?  Poor Jay... he has to put up with girl music in the car all the time.

Prayer Requests:  for direction and safety
