Greetings!
Thank you for reading Detroit to Monterrey.
I plan to study at the Tec de Monterrey in Monterrey, Mexico during the 2006/2007 academic year courtesy of Michigan State University's numerous study abroad programs.
Every decision and action has an equal consequence or reaction. Therefore, I know that moving to Mexico for nearly a year will be life changing, potentially altering the outcome of my life. By no means will living in Mexico be an extended vacation. I expect to experience various degrees of "culture shock." I know that I will have hardships and difficulties. And I know that there is crime and danger.
However, I also know that Heavenly Father will use the Holy Spirit to guide, comfort, and protect me. I know that Christ was crucified at early age, so that I could accept salvation and honor Him with long life.
Though most of us desire long life, longevity should not be a person's primary goal. A person should live his or her life to the fullest every day. The quality of thy days has always been more important than the quantity of thy days. If your next breath was not given unto you, how would you be remembered? Moreover, how would God judge you?

Then there are those of us who are non-believers. It was Camus who said the ultimate question is, in a world without God, who has the moral authority to say that it is better to nurse lepers than burn Jews. I believe that it is our humanity that should be the standard. That just as people disagree about which god said what, there may be some disagreement about what constitutes ethical human conduct, but that the challenge lies in the debate to reach consensus.
Hey Ronald,
It's great to hear that your down in Mexico on track for the big adventure. I just want to encourage you man, you are an incredible man of God and I know that God is going to reveal himself to you in huge ways. I hope everything is going awesome with the host families and that you can really be an ambassador for Christ down in Monterrey. I'm praying for you bro and always remember to show Christ's love.
Love you bro,
Matt
