Mexico?

Pray for me as I explore my summer options.
As many of you know I have so desperately wanted to go abroad for some time now.  First it was Spain, then it was Honduras, and now it's Mexico.  Thus far I've received a flat out "no" from God in each of my efforts to go abroad.  I'm hoping that this will change soon.  During my sophomore year of college here at UNL I decided that I don't just want to be a doctor.  I want to be a doctor without borders.  I really want to do mission work abroad and use my desire for medicine to make a tangible differences in the lives of God's most favored people (orphans and widows, ie the poor and oppressed).  Although I won't have the title of Dr. Villegas for many years to come I want to prepare myself for the future.  I want to be ready when God decides to use me.  I am currently in the process of getting involved in a program that would allow me to explore my three greatest passions, Spanish, culture, and hands on medicine for the poor.  Pray for me as I explore my summer options.
