My Mexican Menu and Some Rambly Thoughts

Some of the interesting foods I eat here:

-Eggs that were cooked the night before, were left out on the counter overnight and reheated in the morning
-Mexican version of marshmallow ambrosia salad: lettuce, pancake syrup, cottage cheese, pineapple, apple, grapes, multi-colored marshmallows. Really the lettuce and pancake syrup are what made this… interesting…
-Expired milk and various other dairy products. I’ve only seen chunky milk once.

While here I am beginning to think I may be more of a missions mobilizer than a full time missionary. I am good at getting people excited about things and helping them to do things. I wonder if there is a job like that where I help people arrange trips and where I still get to go to a lot of different places, but where I am based “at home” still. More and more the idea of (gasp) living in Southern California again is appealing to me. But I am working lately on maintaining dreams and having a loose idea of what I want, but leaning more on God’s direction. I don’t want to plan my life. I want to follow God’s plan for my life. Sometimes I wonder if I haven’t made a lot of things happen without really listening for God’s voice and direction.

Sounds kinda like what I ate out of the fridge at Huckleberry. Except for the syrup and lettuce, that's just gross. And the chunky milk, gag.
