Spanish music. Telenovelas (soap operas). Storms every night. Tortillas at every meal. Fresh juice. Ice cream. Vocabulary. Lots of laughing at our stupid Spanish sometimes. Card games. Spanish movies. Pesos. Camiones (busses). Cockroaches.
I think it's funny that this is all pretty normal to me now!
It's been a month. The first session of classes is done, friends are leaving and new ones coming. I'm moving from level 4 to level 5 (woo-hoo!). And my days feel even more numbered now, only one month left!
But this has definitely been an awesome experience so far. I love how homey it feels to me now, and that I know I have an equal amount of time ahead of me to improve my Spanish further. I've become a lot more comfortable just trying to say what I want to say (even though I really don't know how, or can't do it correctly).
I've also found a temporary church family, which has been great. It's a small English fellowship, which has a mix of people from the US, Mexico, India, and many others. It's a rather interesting group, and it's awesome. But we never quite know if we should talk to people in Spanish, or English! They have a women's Bible study too that I was able to go to for the first time this week. I have been so blessed by this fellowship, it's been so good for me. I wasn't sure if I would be able to even find a Christian church (most of Mexico is Catholic), so I'm very grateful for this.
I'm excited to see what else will happen and what I'll be able to do/learn in the coming weeks. I hope to have more weekend trips, more dancing, Church fellowship, and more learning of course.
Also, I'm almost done editing pictures! I hope to have more posted tonight or tomorrow.
Until next time!
