Life... as an 'estadounidense' in Mexico

Ok. So things have been going pretty well to be honest. I have become slight sick this weekend, no food is suspected as the culpret... Just good old-fashion sick.

We moved into our apartment smoothly. We have most of the furniture now... Some items were delivered late, but we are trying to respect that things are done differently here. We certainly won't die because our refrigerator was 3 days late... We are learning to genuinely appreciate these items for two reasons.
1. We were Frige deprived for the weekend...
2. None of us had ever purchased a Refrigerator before... they aren't cheap.

You may have noticed the title to this entry... If you do not know what 'estadounidense' means, I will explain. "Estadounidense" means American in spanish. This is just one of the many words that I have learned since beginning Spanish classes on Wednesday. The class I am in is Basic one. We are learning basic Spanish vocabulary and grammar right now. After two weeks of floundaring in "no habla espaniol," this is a refreshing course. I hope to study further and learn what I can from friends and outreach.

All in all I would say this has been a good transition. We are now registered spanish students at UNAM (a major university in Mexico City.) God is good and we are praying for open doors to share the gospel with people we are meeting. Please keep this in your prayers. UNAM is a very large school... and many people speak English. This has already opened a few doors for friendships. I pray that you are having a good day and that you are seeing God's blessings around you. God bless!
