Translation: Hello, How are my friends doing? Don't worry this blog will not be in spanish rather in english, but sometimes I will need to practice writing Spanish.

Well on with what I really wanted to say. I'm sure everyone is either excited or shocked that I even started a blog but, I thought it a good way to stay in touch with everyone, so here I am. I'm finally in Mexico after many months of praying and waiting on the Lord, I'm here and each day I am more confident that this is where the Lord has me. So far everything has been great, my flight was a decent time frame but I was ready to get to the house when I arrived since the family I am staying with moved to a new location. I figured that it might be smaller than the one before since their family is shrinking from 5 to 3 in about 2 1/2 months, and I was right. Still it was beautiful because what they bring to the table is more than money but a true glimpse of how a family should be, not perfect but full of love for one another.

The first night was fine and I slept like a baby, probably due to traveling all day, and feeling sick from the disgusting unbelievable sickening smog in Mexico city. You can tell the difference when leaving Mexico City to go into Cuernavaca, the temperature raises about 10-17 degrees and the air is fresh and SMOG FREE, YAY!!!! The second day was great. I didn't do much but hang around the house and take a walk to the University, Universidad Internacional or UNITER for short. It's great, in this new house the school is within walking distance which is a great way to save money, and I think I will be doing a lot of that. It's not that the taxi's are expensive only that the price adds up after a while, 3 dollars here and 2 dollars here, the next thing you know you spent 25 dollars in a week just on transportation, so walking is now my best friend. Well back on track, at the UNITER I ran into an instructor I had this summer, he knew I had plan on coming back so now we can hang out, he is so much fun.

Day three is when God really started to speak to me in different ways. You may or may not know but the family I am staying with is Christian, protestant not Catholic. I don't emphasize that to disregard Catholicism as being Christian, b/c it definitely is, I say it b/c it's really rare in a country where every body is catholic and their is a shrine of a saint on almost every corner and in many of the shopping plazas. My point being this was completely orchestrated by God. Today being the third day I was here I had the opportunity to really think about the Mama of the family, Lupita. I believe that she might be the only true following believer in the family, that makes this even more profound and wonderful. Despite not going to "church " every Sunday b/c she doesn't have the chance to do that, she is truly a very strong believer in Christ. It's soo great talking to her because you can see how much she loves God and desire to live according to his word and will. It really is a powerful testimony to others believers and non believers and I believe and hope that the Lord will use this to touch her children to follow after him like she does if not greater. This touched me so because I also may not have the opportunity to go to "Church" every Sunday or spend time with so many believers as often as I did in the states but it doesn't matter because as a believer in Jesus Christ, his word says he lives within me which signifies that he is with me all the time and I will always be able to commune with the Lord most high not matter what location I am in or what language is spoken the Lord is always with those who believe. This wasn't the only great thing that happened today. I also was finally able to go to La Casa de Oracion (Internacional House Of Prayer) after sending many emails and leaving messages to find out the location. As soon as prayer began the Lord had a scripture for me, whispered to me by one of the prayer leaders. All I can say is wow, I'm in a different country and the Lord can still find a way to single me out, how profound of a love is that. Things to read Psalm 116, it's amazing.

All I can say and think right now is FAITH, this has been and I believe will continue to be a trip of faith where I need to trust on the lord, "leaning not on my own understanding" but listening to the sweet voice of my great and loving Father. Yay, so please continue to pray for me in the area of trust, faith, and finances, I'm just trusting that everything is going to be taken care of. I guess to top it off I may have a new job, tutoring little kinds in english, conversation only. So the Lord is providing and I know he will continue to, because I am his beloved and he is mine.

Matthew 6:25-27
25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
