Ok so I typed out an entire article explaining all that I’m about to go over, but my computer decided it wasn’t important enough to bother saving so I’ve rewritten it. It’s a good bit shorter than I intended now, so sorry about that. Alright, so I didn’t especially want to make this post. I’ve […]
Oh, the Things You’ll Learn
My time in Mexico was a lot of things. It was character building. It was a chance to live more independently. It was a time for adventure and new experiences. I certainly learned a lot in my time down there. From language to culture to essential life lessons, I’m confident I’m not the same person […]
Adventures in Chiapas
I went on another Crusade! As many of you know, I went on a medical crusade with Fishers of Men last month (they’re a monthly occurrence). I thoroughly enjoyed it, and last week I had the chance to embark on another. If you’d like to learn more about what these “Crusades” are and what we […]
Tales of Mexico
I’ve been in Mexico for well over a month now, and it’s been quite the adventure. I’ve gone to youth group, ran to the store, and gone on a Crusade to the state of Puebla. While I’ve shared many of my stories in previous posts on Mexico, I haven’t shared all of them. Today, I’d […]
Emergency Medical Mission Crusades (EMMCs)
Last week I went on an adventure. Not some dragon-slaying, wizards and knights adventure, but an adventure nonetheless. I went on a Medical Crusade. I posted updates on Facebook every day, so if you’re interested to see what I specifically did, you can check those stories out here. In this post, though, I want to […]
New House Tour
Of all the projects going on here at Fishers of Men, none are bigger than the new house. Since the very beginning, Julie’s passion has been for the children of Mexico. A bigger house would let us fill it with more people! For the past several years, we’ve been working bit by bit to accomplish […]
How to Have a Prodigal Child
Today’s post is from Julie Claassen, founder of Fishers of Men and my “Mexico Mom” while I’m living here for the summer. This article discusses the events that occurred a few weeks ago and the lessons she’s learned from them. If you’d like to hear more from her, check her out at our Facebook […]
A Day in Mexico
As I’ve begun to settle into my life here, I’ve discovered the routine lying underneath the unpredictable life that is living in Mexico. I’ve always loved getting glimpses into the everyday lives of others, so I figured all of you might enjoy the same. So, without further adieu, here’s your glimpse into my life. The […]
I’m Going to Mexico!
….and I’m not coming back for two months! For those of you that are subscribed to this blog, you know that I’ve been planning on going to Mexico this summer for quite some time. Well, today’s the day! I’ve been writing little bits of this as I have time throughout my travels. As this is […]
A Mountaintop Experience
Well, it’s that time of year again. Time for several posts in a row inspired by my latest Haiti trip. I can’t promise they’ll be entirely different than last year’s, but I can promise that each trip is different and brings with it an entirely new perspective on my time there. Today I’d like to […]
