Just wanted to get this blogpage rolling....seeing as I'll be the one rolling (out!) soon. I have 1.5 weeks in Virginia, one week at the beach, and one week of training in Akron, PA -- the countdown has begun! My idea for the blog was to have an easier way for people to hear and see what I'm doing this upcoming year, instead of mass-emails. Hopefully you'll find it convenient and up-to-date! I must say, now that visas and passports are taken care of the whole thing feels much more real -- I'm super excited for the next 11 months!
Just to recap what I know thus far about the year: I'll be living in Cuernavaca, Mexico -- a city with a population of about a million, located 1.5ish hours south of Mexico City (see map). My assignment is at a community center; I hear I'll be working as a "catch-all," which includes helping/teaching an elementary class that meets at the center in the mornings. I'm living with a rather large, extended family -- I believe 8 in all?
Fundraising has gone well the past few weeks, thank you to everyone who contributed! I really apprecite the support I've felt in preparing for this. The next few weeks will be super busy -- filled with packing and goodbyes. Hope the blogpage worked for you...I'll be doing my best to keep you updated!
Peace,
Hannah :)

Hi!
I'm glad to see you have your blog up and running. We are sorry we missed your commissioning last Sunday and the Mexican donuts. We will be praying for you as you go and as you are involved in ministry in Mexico.
