Hello, I'm sorry and Goodbye!!!

Dear Friends and Family,

Hello! I have been home for three and a half weeks now and I have had the pleasure of visiting with many of you. I am writing to inform you that I will be leaving for Mexico again, tomorrow. This time I will be located in Cuernavaca which is about an hour south of Mexico City. I will be living with a Mexican family and going to school for 15 weeks. I will be sure to fill you in on the details of my family after I meet them!
I apologize for not following through with my promise to inform you of what the last three weeks of my time in Ensenada looked like. For those of you who haven't heard and would like to know feel free to email me and I will inform you. It was an amazing time and God taught me so much about myself and His love. He stretched me in ways that I didn't think possible and although it was a difficult process I have been changed. I am really looking forward to this new journey and I hope that you will want to continue journeying with me. I will have more email access and I intend to share more of my thoughts and experiences!
Thank you again for all of your thoughts and prayers. I have been so blessed to have amazing friends and family members! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Remember to watch for updates!!!!

Sincerely,

Violet Read

p.s. I had a lot of fun during the time I was here. Here are some pics of some of my adventures!

When I was at home in Milwaukie the best thing me and my friends could think of was to go to Tebo's (a.k.a "older people" restaraunt) and have desert and take silly pictures!

I had many coffee dates and usually they ended with silly photo shoots. =)
