1995-1998....

1995
Struggling with money in my family, we sold our new car
I went to a "GO FEST" and God said "GO" so I applied for DTS in 4 places Tyler Tx, Hawaii, El Paso and Tepic Mexico, I made the decission to go to ELP because the envelope was bigger...hehe really I did...........
I broke up with Jorge (my friend was threating me if I didn't give a good ending to this relationship since he was not a Christian)
I left to a new world, lived in the border town, I thought I spoke English....hahaha yeah alright when I have to share the room with 2 Europeans and 7 Americans the only words that came out of my mouth were JELOU I AM FRROM MEXICO...after that I was pretty much lost.
God taught me soo much during DTS, I found the little monster that I have inside of me and that I was in big trouble..... Yet I had a heart for the lost
I saw a baby died in the train in the mountains in Mexico, after that I thought I could never go back and spend my life studying Law or numbers and making money
I made many mistakes with my English such as telling an American guy "I want you".... not that I wanted him just in spanish I wanted to say I like you , you are cool....
My first time in USA without my dad & money.....I saw lots of snow... Yeah in this year I grew up a lot and when I went back to Mexico for Christmas brake I knew I'd never be the same..
